Lyrics

Band on the Run (Live)

[Verse 1]

Stuck inside these four walls

Sent inside forever

Never seeing no one nice again

Like you

Mama, you

Mama, you

[Segue]

[Verse 2]

If I ever get out of here

Thought of giving it all away to a registered charity

All I need is a pint a day if I ever get out of here

If we ever get out of here

[Segue]

[Verse 3]

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash

As we fell into the sun

And the first one said to the second one there

"I hope you're having fun"

[Chorus]

Band on the run

Band on the run

And the jailer man and Sailor Sam

Were searching everyone

For the band on the run

Band on the run

For the band on the run

Band on the run

[Verse 4]

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh

Seeing no one else had come

And a bell was ringing in the Village Square

For the rabbits on the run

[Chorus]

Band on the run

Band on the run

And the jailer man and Sailor Sam

Were searching everyone

For the band on the run

Band on the run

Yeah, the band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run

[Verse 5]

Well, the night was falling as the desert world

Began to settle down

In the town they're searching for us everywhere

But we're never gonna be found, oh no

[Chorus]

Band on the run

Band on the run

And the County Judge, who held a grudge

Will search forevermore

For the band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run
