Man on the Run

[Melody 1 - Verse]

Stuck inside this poor whale

Sittin' by his liver

Where is Jacques Cousteau at

Times like this?

Why you - Jonah?

You - Jonah? You?

[Instrumental Break]

[Melody 2 - Verse]

If I ever get outta here

Goin' to Nineveh today

With the message You shared with me

I'll let You have the final say

If I ever get outta here

If You let me get outta here

[Melody 3 - Verse 1]

Well, the waves exploded and they thought we'd crash

As we sailed into the storm

And the first mate said to go check in my bed

I hope I wasn't snorin'

[Chorus 1]

Man on the run, man on the run

As he came to my bed, the sailor said

"We're searchin' every bunk

For the man on the run, man on the run

Man on the run, man on the run"

[Melody 3 - Verse 2]

Well, no one would take and throw me in the tide

'Til I told them that they must

And a whale was swimming -- it had been prepared

For the rabbi on the run

[Chorus 2]

Man on the run, man on the run

And the day I ran, a whale was sent

To burp when I succumbed

As a man on the run, man on the run

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Yeah, the man on the run, man on the run

Man on the run, man on the run

[Melody 3 - Verse 3]

Well, it's nice of God to send this blessed whale

'Cause then I didn't drown

In the town of Nineveh, I said, "Repent!"

And my message was profound

[Chorus 3]

Man on the run, man on the run

And the town that was rebellious

Returned to serve the Lord

Like the man on the run, man on the run

The man on the run, hey, man on the run

Hey
