16-bar intro w9th trumpet solo
Verse 1:
Anonymous, autonomous will likely get the best of us yet.
Before you disappear, if you can lend me half an ear, I'll regret.
If I treat you like a number, it's because I can't remember your name, mmm,
So have another cigarette and help me to forget why I came.
Chorus:
You run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.
Trumpet solo
Verse 2:
On dark and lonely nights, I'm only right when things are bright on the floor.
Dancing and romancing, gallivanting with a handsomem I score,
And if you don't believe me, you should see me when I'm ready to roar,
'Cause I'll lose my concentration with a new infatuation, I'm sure.
Chorus 2:
You run too fast, fly too high.
You run too fast, fly too high.
We got no past, no goodbye.
You run to fast and you fly too high.
Trumpet solo
Bridge:
Would you believe I was once gonna be somebody?
I packed up my bags and I took what I had to the city.
Man, I was rough to find the best I could be
Waiting for the limit on a color TV.
Now I've made it this far.
Got a room on the park and a view,
Brand new.
Fly too high.
Horn section break
Chorus 3:
You run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.
Trumpet solo
Verse 3:
Hanging around on the infield, what do you steal but another feel at the top..
Making believe in the long run, when a shotgun is the way to get out of the shop.
Hang tail in a new jail, you can go bail.
You can dance until you drop,
'Cause there's no fool like an old fool in a new school.
You just can't stop.
Chorus 4:
Run too fast, fly too high.
You run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.
Run too fast, fly too high.
You got no past, no goodbye.
You run too fast, fly too high.
