"Attn. visitors please see your way to the chapel for

tonight's musical entertainment. Thank you."

Good Evening

Here's your dinner.

And don't forget to take your pills Mr. Bayer

Ok.

Toodles

Wake up Run for your life with me

In another perfect life In another perfect light

We run

The rats are on parade Another mad charade

What you gonna do?

The hounds are on the chase Everything erased

What you gonna do?

I need some room to breathe You can stay asleep

If you wanted to

They say that nothing's free But you can run with me

If you wanted to

Yeah you can run with me If you wanted to

Before the time runs out

There's somewhere to run

Wake up

Run for your life with me

Wake up

Run for your life with me

In another perfect life In another perfect light

We run

The hounds are on the chase Everything erased

What you gonna do?

I need some room to breathe you can run with me

If you wanted to

You Can run with me if you wanted to

Before the time runs out There's somewhere to run

Wake up

Run for your life with me

Wake up

Run for your life with me

In another perfect life In another perfect light

We run

run

Wake up

Run for your life with me

Wake up

Run for your life with me

In another perfect life In another perfect light

We run

run
