Turn and Run - Alice Russell

I can hear life passing me by

It’s the very sound like the kicking of time

I look around and the stakes are high

I want to struggle but I wait in line

So turn, run

Now I’m back and I’m lost in a dream

I had a week in a single day

I lost my feet now, I’m floating down stream

Far off to sea, are you following me?

So what am I supposed to think?

With every step I take I’m starting to shrink

Open my mouth but I don’t hear the screams

Where am I?

What am I?

Tell me what you’re gonna do?

Turn and run, run, run

Run if you dare, run, run

Can’t turn around, run, run

Run all alone, run, run

What am I supposed to feel?

How am I supposed to think?

How is it that your okay?

Why don’t you feel like me?

What am I supposed to feel?

How am I supposed to think?

How is it that your okay?

Why don’t you feel like me?

Turn and run

I got treacle sliding through my veins

And my bones start to rattle and quake

And someone else there is tugging the reins

But I just can’t see who’s pulling at me

Seems everyone can be bought or sold

Poor as a beggar on a pot of gold

I haunt myself for eternity

So why can’t you see?

I cannot see

Tell me what you’re gonna do?

I’m gonna turn and run, run, run

Run if you dare, run, run

I can’t turn around, run, run

I run all alone, run, run

Run if you dare, run, run

Can’t turn around, run, run

I run all alone, run, run

I’m gonna turn and run, turn and run
