Rock is Dead
He lied about it for the opportunity
To defend the border his life was sworn
Though not a generation was native born

He had lost the battle but won the war
When the generals said he couldn't fight no more
He was proud and bitter at what he'd done
So he passed it off to his favorite son

Jingo don't you fight for me
Jingo don't you speak for me
To the man who owns the land
We're all the same
But when his grip begins to slip
Then he'll be
The Running Man
everything you gave me lies within a trunk, within a drawer
I burned one hundred photographs or more
I fled across the ocean wioth another face, another name
Nothing but my soul remained the same
But still you came with cases I was forced to let you stay
You bought the locks, the box in which I lay
I tried to get away from you
I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there's no escape
I can still remember you with coronets, white horses
I would run behind you'd flash a sign I'd dive
Just to serve you
Night time's turned the lady to a girl again, you'd slip away
You tried to kiss my tears away, pretend there was no day to take me down
Nightshade, blades, Niagra falls - I tried them all six times
You would always run behind me
And you'd find me
Keep me on a leash, on a line
I'm uncomfortably resigned
There's no release till you untie me
Deny me
