You Better Run

Pinot Noir wine pour
Another Pink Floyd inspired piece. I was alternating with a Stephen King Audible book. What a combination!
You better run and make your face up in your favorite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the cockelshell shatters
And the hammers batter down your door
You better run.
There's Someone In My Head (but it's not me).

Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
Yeah, as far as I can see
We should let the children lead the way
Bang bang you're dead now could be real
I got a bag of smoke come on let's make a deal
Yeah, bridges burn but tomorrow is another day
To feed the world and then go outside and play
Yeah, farmers farm and dancers dance all night
Lovers love and the firefighters fight
Let the children run the show
Not too long and we'd be good to go
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
Yeah, as far as I can see
We gotta let the children lead the way
Storms will rise out of innocent skies
Times will change as you let the children play the game
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
