Run-Around - Blues Traveler.mp3

[00:19]Once upon a midnight dearie
[00:22]I woke with something in my head
[00:26]I couldn't escape the memory
[00:29]Of a phone call and of what you said
[00:32]Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
[00:35]I could not believe my eyes
[00:38]When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
[00:41]Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
[00:44]Yeah humor me and tell me lies
[00:48]And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
[00:51]And as we seek so shall we find
[00:54]And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
[00:57]But not without a certain degree of fear
[01:01]Of what will be with you and me
[01:03]I still can see things hopefully
[01:06]But you
[01:09]Why you wanna give me a run-around
[01:12]Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
[01:16]When all it does is slow me down
[01:23]And shake me and my confidence
[01:26]About a great many things
[01:29]But I've been there I can see it cower
[01:32]Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
[01:35]Of a bad play where the heroes are right
[01:38]And nobody thinks or expects too much
[01:42]And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
[01:44]Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
[01:47]Hey baby let's keep in touch
[01:51]But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
[01:54]And show me all the things no one else can see
[01:57]So what you feel bes mine as well
[02:00]And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
[02:03]What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
[02:07]And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line
[02:09]But you
[02:12]Why you wanna give me a run-around
[02:15]Is it a sure-fire wa to speed things up
[02:19]When all it does is slow me down
[02:44]Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
[02:47]And I've got some news for you
[02:51]It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
[02:54]And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
[02:57]Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
[03:00]Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
[03:04]But I know no matter what the waitress brings
[03:06]I shall drink in and always be full
[03:10]My cup shall always be full
[03:14]Oh I like coffee
[03:15]And I like tea
[03:16]I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
[03:19]I still got this dream that you just can't shake
[03:22]I love you to the point you can no longer take
[03:25]Well all right okay
[03:27]So be that way
[03:29]I hope and pray
[03:30]That there's something left to say
[03:32]But you
[03:34]Why you wanna give me a run-around
[03:38]Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
[03:41]When all it does is slow me down
[03:44]But you
[03:47]Why you wanna give me a run-around
[03:50]Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
[03:54]When all it does is slow me down
