What Are You Running After

Bird York


Are you still waking in a panic 
are you sleeping in a ball 
are you still eating dinner in your car 
can't waste precious working hours 
and the phone keeps ringing like a church on judgment day 
you say it drives you crazy 
wouldn't have it any other way 
what are you running after these days 
who are you leaving home alone 
what are you running after these days 
you any closer to the spotlight 
now that I'm gone 
are you still living life distracted 
from all the things you need to do 
that promise you fame and power from the masses 
all the things love can't get you 
and the jobs keep coming like Cuban refugees 
and the crowd is loving 
your success at any price disease 
what are you running after these days 
who are you leaving home alone 
I hope that she's strong 
what are you running after these days 
you any closer to the spotlight 
now that I'm gone 
going around on your hamster wheel 
hoping to fill your hole with gold 
and the sound of wild applause 
what are you running after these days 
who are you leaving home alone 
I hope that she's strong 
what are you running after these days 
you any closer to the spotlight 
now that I'm gone
