Standing on the borderline
Between joy and reason
Tending carefully, my fire
Waiting for my seasonI know who these people are
I know what they stand for
Corruption's built into this plan
Nothing's under the other handTricks and trials
Await the childThe instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
The instinct keeps me running
Running through the grinning shadowsI have seen the sludgy beach
And the poisoned river
I have met the naughty rich
They're just getting stifferThis whole place is like a maze
Or like some Medusa
Let me out, I can't accept
A second red light storyTricks and trials
Await the childThe instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
The instinct keeps me running
Running where the sun'll bless meInstinct keeps me running
Running like a moose
The instinct keeps me running
Running to keep one chance openMarks on walls, the common outlet
Tell the truth and always will
Marks on wall destroy the thought
Of perfect sunny civilizationTricks and trials
Await the childInstinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
The instinct keeps me running
Running through the grinning shadowsInstinct keeps me running
Running like a bear
The instinct keeps me running
Running to keep one chance openInstinct keeps me running
Running 'cause I don't believe it
Instinct keeps me running
Running through the bare emotionInstinct keeps me running
Instinct keeps me running
Running, I'm running
Running, running, running
