Run, run for your life Ah, run for your life Keep on running Run run run Gotta run, gotta run, gotta run Don't, don't turn around Don't make a sound Cause somebody's watching you tonight Don't close your eyes As darkness arrives Cause, somebody's watching you Look to the right (it could be nothing at all) There in the light (it doesn't matter at all) Coming into sight Don't be afraid of the night You'd better run (run) Run for your life The loneliness around you cuts like a knife Do you run (run) Run for your life The shadow won't be far behind in the heat of the night Run for your life You's better run (run) Run for your life Run for your life Run Run Run Keep on running And now as heroes pretend With nerves at an end Still saying never die alone See how they fall They're not that hard at all Fear is behing their eyes Wait for the break (it could be nothing at all) It's all a mistake (it doesn't matter at all) Only for you sake Don't be afraid of the night You'd better run (run) Run for your life The loneliness around you cuts like a knife Do you run (run) Run for your life The shadow won't be far behind in the heat of the night Run for your life You's better run (run) Run for your life Run for your life Keep on running, keep on running, ah ha Run run run And in a while another day Will give your fear away and You try to smile to make a day But in the night you stay Run for your life The loneliness around you cuts like a knife Do you run (run) Run for your life The shadow won't be far behind in the heat of the night Run for your life You's better run (run) Run for your life Run for your life
