sounds better in Amazon music, as expected

I like the pause at "and a reprieve's not looking likely"

Running lyrics - working draft


Got me running
Got me running
but the race it never ends

You got me running
or else I'm done in

you got me coming as you're going
and the chase it never ends
I'll be running
'Til the second coming

contain us
contain us

lost in the tunnel
and the tunnel aint no fun now
I hope you know the shit your pushing

Continue
Continue (or potato. go with what your heart tells you)

Lost in the tunnel
And the tunnel ain't no fun
Now I'm lost in all the shit you're flushing

like the sewage in the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running

Control
Control

Lost in the tunnel
And the tunnel's getting funneled
Like the sewage in the plumbing
Cuz we left the fucking water running

Got me diving, got me diving
Got me deep
I get the bends
When I'm ??? (swimming)?
You're too late coming

Got me running
Got me running
But your race it never ends

I'm feeling done in
it's slightly stunning

Continue
Continue

Lost in the tunnel
And the tunnel ain't no fun
Now I'm lost in all the shit you're flushing
like the sewage in the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running


Not sure about the outro

It's really close, but those two were too bad to be true.

This is Supersonic 15 years later, but without the surprise element and that fresh feeling.
Ole is better than Supersonic. Running is better than Ole.
Running and any song is better than Supersonic .

Running is better than Olé.

Can't deny me rocks so long as you dont hear the lyrics.

The fact we’re talking about Ole, Can’t Deny Me, and Supersonic here on the day PJ released a new single says it all.

Running (working lyrics)

Yes or No

You got me running
got me running
but the (something) never ends

you got me running
or else I'm done in

you got me coming as you're going
in the cage that never ends
you got me running
yeah the second coming

contain us
contain us

lost in the tunnel
and the tunnel aint no fun now
I hope you know the shit your pushing

control us
control us

lost in the tunnel
and the tunnel's getting funneled
like the sewage in the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running

yes or no

got me diving
got me diving
got me deep I've hit the bens
when I'm sewn in I'm too late coming

got me running
got me running
like the (something) that never ends
I'm feeling done in
it's rather stunning

contain us
contain us

lost in the tunnel
and the tunnel aint no fun now
I hope you know the shit your pushing

control us
control us

lost in the tunnel
and the tunnel's getting funneled
like the sewage in the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running

we're cleared for
for liftoff
I close my eyes
take off
living in the shadows
crossing my fingers
a date with the gallows
and a reprieve's not looking likely

(ed's rant---not gonna try)
you got me runnning (x4)
oh please
you are the tunnel
I am unstable
fuck off
off
"Contain us" is actually "potato"
I imagine if you ate as many potatoes as Ed is singing about in this song your bowels would be running too.

We’re also talking about potatoes, the shits, and Green Day. I’m not sure what that says.

They're of a lineage. There are elements of Lukin, Get Right, Mind Your Manners, Again Today, and a bunch of other songs in here too.

Probably not can't deny me, though

Running is also better than Evacuation AND God's Dice. But probably not the two of them combined.

Absolutely not.

The bridge of Evacuation is better than this song by itself. And God's Dice is just nice.
