Lyrics

Blue Stone

[Verse 1]

Alone or in company

The city makes me nervous

You know I'd rather be

With little sorrel

Or your house

Or a little further

Where I'd be standing

With my reassurer

Such an engine

Speaks such gear words

A cipher, a civilian's prayer

American on the Dorset shore

[Chorus]

Runs for it

Runs for it

Runs for it

To rest the pathetic

[Verse 2]

Again, tonight

Such poverty

Compels us to perfect our pride

[Chorus]

And run for it

Run for it

Run for it

Run for it
