Runner's High

He stopped by and I didn't even recognize

He looked shaky and sweaty and puffy and petrified

He said that thing in California is kind of compromised

I was hoping you'd help me

Man, I'm so sick of running

The doctors said that it was all in his head

Then they discovered the blood

Tried to duck out but we still got stuck

Like a sneaker in the Mississippi mud

Speeding through your story of guns and guts and glory

I'm hoping what you're saying is true

Dude you've got to slow down if you want me to save you

He jerked around when we joked about the runner's high

He said now that is one high I've never tried

He said that thing in California is kind of compromised

Someone must have said something

Man I'm so sick of running

The doctors said that it was all in his head

Then they discovered the blood

Tried to duck out but we still got stuck

Like a sneaker in the Mississippi mud

Prancing all around like some Kansas City clown

I'm praying what you're saying is true

Dude you've got to sit still if you want me to save you

So quickly from city to city

We never knew what state we were in

They got me at some hospital and made me take medicine

It rolled over me slowly and then it pretty much did me in

Warm water and the nurses just floating

When I came to in Houston

I felt absolutely nothing

No voices no visions

I feel absolutely nothing

No pressure no Jesus

No crashes no hassles

I remember a dream about you

Getting hit on the head

And left to bleed to death in the vestibule

And then it came true

The pills they prescribed they made me fragile and fried

I felt full body fuzzy then touchy

I want you to help me

Man, I'm so sick of running

Someone must have said something
