The Run - Alex Bellegarde Trio

It's a lifelong project of a life on the lash I've forgotten how to care but I'll remember for cash It's my party and I'll cry if I want to Light the fuse, sing the blues, I can die if I want to Tonight we're gonna bring tomorrow's happiness Gonna live like it's the end I love you to death, but I must suggest You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last He's an old time blagger Wraps a hand in band Still knows the streets of Camden like the back of his hand He's an all time lover and a marathon man And with the strength of a thousand men He's a nightmare hangover He's a one night stand He can eat more chicken than any man in the land Well I've given up caring for happiness When this heart gives out is when I'll rest Run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last Cause tonight we are gonna spend All tomorrow's happiness If we don't break before we bend And tonight your sole aside It'll turn out nice again It's only money in the end Run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run, run, run boy Faster than the past Through the looking glass If you want the night to last You'd better run
