Running from the Thoughts - Terry Hall, Dub Pistols

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it

Tryna get away

Keep dragging me into it

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it

Tryna get away

How many times we been through it

Communication breakdown

Party anthem laid down

Spirits of a playground

Running from a grey town

Amityville Horror

Ghosts form the past

That will travel through tomorrow, follow

Each and every step that I take

As many bars I break

I still can’t escape

So at night I stay awake

Go out and separate

My soul from my conscience

And all I can equate

Is a bunch of crazy nonsense

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it (bumping back into it)

Tryna get away (tryna get away)

Keep dragging me into it

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it (just leave me alone man)

Tryna get away (I'm tryna get away)

How many times we been through it

Try to stay versatile

And switch up my pattern

Can’t keep it rotating like the rings of Saturn

Got to break the cycle

And move it like nitro

Get it out of my head before I go psycho

Insomniac on the track

Falling out, bouncing back

Coming with the wild attack

Trying to keep my mind intact

Back to the days of the past

Keep popping in my head like a memory flash

Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)

I keep bumping back into it (keep bumping back into it)

Tryna get away (tryna get away)

Keep dragging me into it (keep dragging me down man)

Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)

I keep bumping back into it (say what say what)

Tryna get away (I'm tryna get away)

How many times we been through it (how many time are we gonna do it man?)

Oh shit

Just can’t get out of that circle

Just got me bicycling home

Yeah, oh you really want it motherfuckers?

Here we go

Time to move the mast

Throw them in my moustache

Roll a big spliff

Light it up with a match

Puff puff

Rocking kasbahs like the clash

We can all sit back and watch the world crash

Then pick up the pieces of the fractured elements

Write your last will and testament

Like it was the end

But its never the end

I hate to tell you my friend

They keep coming back again and again

Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)

I keep bumping back into it (keep bumping back into it)

Tryna get away (tryna get away)

Keep dragging me into it (keep dragging me down man)

Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)

I keep bumping back into it (say what say what)

Tryna get away (I'm tryna get away)

How many times we been through it (how many times?)

Running from the thoughts (running from the thoughts)

I keep bumping back into it

Tryna get away (tryna get away)

Keep dragging me into it

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it (say what say what)

Tryna get away

How many times we been through it (how many time are we gonna do it man?)

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it

Tryna get away

Keep dragging me into it

Running from the thoughts

I keep bumping back into it

Tryna get away

How many times we been through it (how many time are we gonna do it man?)
