A Desperate Man - The Divine Comedy

I made a daring escape

In the guise of a nun

It took them most of the day

To realize I was gone

I crossed the forest and fields of wheat

A farmer’s daughter gave me something to eat

I stole a paper just to see

Picture of me

I’m a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

I gotta do what I can

To get back to you

I made the overnight ferry

By the skin of my teeth

I fell asleep between the truckers

Sprawled across the seats

I see your face everywhere I go

In every café, watering hole

What is the hold you’ve got on me

Baby?

I’m a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

I gotta do what I can

To get back to you

I’m a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

Running back to you

Nobody else will do

I’m a desperate man

I gotta keep on running

Running back to you

Nobody else will do
