Running For Cover

For forty days and for forty nights

I been walkin' down these streets

Tryin' to get it right

But down there lies darkness

Down there lies the past

Down there my conscience

Kinda kicked my ass

You got me runnin' for cover

Runnin' from bein' me

You got me runnin' for cover

For cryin' out loud

I hear them moanin' from distant lands

Have some hookers shut 'em up with some swollen glands

Now beggin's changed,

I guess you'll do

Just a hood rat all jacked off and tangled up in blue

There's blood at home, there's blood on my street

How am I to smile in complete defeat?

Well, I'm jumpin' into limbo, tryin' to feel alive

I'm jumpin' into limbo and

I like itYou got me runnin' for cover

Runnin' from bein' me

You got me runnin' for cover

For cryin' out loud

Into the quiet dusk

I see curvy clouds chokin' up on irony

I give it a pause and

I break to the left

But I'm wasted and

I can't seem to catch my breath

Here I go, just one more time

Findin' out what's goin' on with the party line

Well, I'm jumpin' into limbo tryin' to feel alive

I'm jumpin' into limbo and

I like itYou got me runnin' for cover

Runnin' from bein' me

You got me runnin' for cover

For cryin' out loud
