Down from this high room Down to the town Where so many wasted days are lost To the cutting wind Oh, crawl like a baby Down on my knees And kissing the hand That lives and feeds on suffering And into the future As the hours turn from days to years I remember them I won't be sold again And I try and I try But I always rely on the things that I'm told And I said what I said Now my only regret is the fear I hold Yeah, and we're running now (Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah, we're running now To the sound of the city And I look at their faces So many faces Grey as their souls are grey As grey as the towns they build Ah where order alone is sacrosanct Number all your citizens As the cities fill And they'll live for a future Where nothing ever changes Nothing is left to kill Oh, God, I think they will And I try and I try But I always rely on the things that I'm told And I said what I said Now my only regret is the fear I hold Yeah, and we're running now (Yeah, yeah) Ooh, yeah, we're running now To the sound of the city Yeah... We're running now And I try and I try But I always rely on the things that I'm told And I said what I said Now my only regret is the fear I hold Yeah, and we're running now (Yeah, yeah) Oh, yeah, we're running now (Yeah, yeah) Yeah, we're running now (Yeah, yeah) Ooh, yeah, we're running now To the sound of the city
