Riding late at night, the signal's fading fast out here on the perimeter of my past,
Map says there's no exits, no runoff ramps to stop,
And the future's up there, down the road in the dark.

Darling, whisper words of hope into my ear,
Radio is fading and it's getting hard to hear.

And I'm running scared,
And I'm running scared,
And I'm running scared for so long now,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared for so long now.

Well, I've got a million houses, but I seldom feel at home,
I got a lot of friends, but usually I'm alone,
Offer you no alibis, proffer no excuse, 'cause I'm dying just for something to hang on to.

The pieces in this puzzle never seem to fit,
Life is like a handgun, and the hammer just went click.

And I'm running scared,
And I'm running scared,
And I'm running scared for so long now,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared for so long now.

Driving late at night, you're kissing my neck,
Conditions - let's call them hazardous,
You whisper to my soul, she's probing past my knee,
These are violent times, baby, wouldn't you agree'

Oh, I've been running scared,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared for so long now,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared,
I've been running scared for so long now.
