Lyrics

Running

Couldn't take it anymore
Where do I begin?
I'll get around to it
After a glass of gin

I prefer to be alone
But you can join if you like
I'll stay strong for you
'Cause I don't wanna be seen when I cry

Done giving up my light
Just to stay in the dark
Can't navigate unless I
Lose my religion
Lose my sight
Running with you through the night

Where it's opaque and cold
We'll be free as birds
Never doing a thing we're told

But the pull of my conscience keeps calling
For me to come home
There's gotta be more to life
Than these dusty streets we roam

Done giving up my light
Just to stay in the dark
Can't navigate unless I
Lose my religion
Lose my sight
Running with you through the night

I'll stay in the dark
Can't navigate unless I
Lose my religion
Lose my sight
Running with you through the night

Oh oh, running with you through the night, oh
You gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose the sight
You gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose the night
Running with you through the night

Shamir - Heterosexuality

Affirming, thought-provoking and living with a freedom that enriches as much as it informs, it's a remarkable record.
