Well we come with what was on our backs

Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black

Back when the wind was cold and blew them 'round

When we laid our blankets on the ground

Yeah and I woke up feelin' hungry

Lookin' straight into the sun, and left a cold night on the ground

Like a dog on the run --



I fell overboard and washed up on the beach

Yes, let the waves and sand roll over me

I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde

Who said, "honey I discovered early in life there's ways of getting

Anything I want, some of us are different

It's just something in our blood, there's no need for explanations

We're just dogs on the run"



The room was painted blue and grey

All my meals were served on a silver tray

Oh she would laugh, and light my cigarettes

She said, "honey, ain't it funny how a crowd gathers around

Anyone living life without a net?

And how they'll beg you for the answers

But it won't ever be enough, there's no way you could ever tell 'em

It's just dogs on the run --
