Running Wild

As you were, like a child

Innocent and running wild

And now you're old and you're grey-haired

Your dead-eyed stare

You're running scared

When you were young the fires spread

Southeasterly to Beachy Head

And London's husk of burnt out rust

That led the lungs a bag of dust

Draw a line in the sand

Coast to coast and man to man

Repopulate the Sherwood Forest

And lynch the deathly pale dishonest

Carve a scar across the earth

Visible from high above

North and South, sever ties

Kiss your enemies goodbye

Hold my heart like a stone

Over waters deep below

And running home, through the night

I was running fast

I was running scared

I was running wild
