MARATHON RUNNER
Marathon Runner by Yellow Ostrich
When I was a boy of seventeen, I know it's mean, but I I told my friend to give up on her dreams, she hated me, but I I knew that dreams were for the best of us, not for the rest of us, and I I didn't want to share with anyone
I need a way to sing the greatest dance, and make them laugh,
I could win the wars, or lose the battles too, whichever's true
I can live in other people's lives -
I CAN'T STOP PUTTING ON OTHER PEOPLE'S CLOTHES
I love them 'til I leave
I am a marathon runner and my legs are sore and I'm anxious to see what I'm running for I am a hot air balloon on a sailboat I would make this my home if I'd learned to float
So take my treasures, take my earthly life, I'll try to cry,
I will live without the things I love the best
So hold them to your chest
I will lose my faces, lose my stolen wigs, the heads of kings
I will run until I know what to believe
I am a marathon runner
and my legs are sore
and I'm anxious to see
what I'm running for
I am a hot air balloon
on a sailboat
I would make this my home
if I'd learned to float
