I see a man
Runnin' into the distance
With fear in his eyes
And blood on his hands

Runnin' fast
Castin' a giant shadow
As the search lights shine
Into the night

Day after day
Night after night
You're on the run

You are a runaway now
Searchin' for freedom
You'll never find

You are a runaway now
There's no answer
You're livin' a lie

Alone in his mind
There's the tick of a time bomb
And time
Is slowly tickin' away

What can he do
Now that fear is beside him
Once he was the hunter
Now he's the prey

Day after day
Night after night
You're on the run

His urge to live
Means more than eternal prison
For a crime
He did not commit

That's why he flees
Runnin' into the darkness
In search of the freedom
He'll never find you

You are a runaway now
Searchin' for freedom
You'll never find

You are a runaway now
There's no answer
You're livin' a lie

Day after day
Night after night
You're on the run
