Marathon Man

Jeff Finlin


Getting tired of talking about it  
You turn your dreams to rage 
Pack your day dreams, run home to papa 
And live in a sugar-coated cage 

Don't you think I get tired dear 
When these ragged days never seem to fade 
And that above my head says turn, turn, turn 
Go ahead and turn the other way 

No making fun of me what they can 
Make me feel like a mouse in the body of a man 
I'll adhere to my best laid plans 
I'm a marathon man 

The saints on the street they can fight me 
Show me the prophet of the blade 
And the signs in the sky can reach out and fight me 
Tell me tomorrow is today 

Even you, girl, you can stand there with your 
With your time clock shooting sparks in the shade 
I can still see you there with the breeze in your hair 
Telling me our love would never fade 

The cadillacs can all make way 
To burn my regrets down the roads they've laid 
Deep down I thought you'd always understand 
I'm a marathon man 

No, they could shove at me what they can 
Make me feel like a mouse in the body of a man 
But I'll adhere to my best laid plans 
I'm a marathon man 
I'm a marathon man
