Safe and Sound

Running from the fire
burning down my soul
climbing to get higher
and keep me from feeling low
Building up a distance
to all I’ve ever known
taking it for granted
that I have never grown
Don’t need a lover for sexual healing
don’t need more novocaine
to avoid this feeling
my sense of humour keeps on
dragging me down
can’t stop moving
till I get home, safe and sound
Running to the seaside
wish that I could swim
wherever it would take me
I can only win
Rivers icing over
and mountains sinking in
whenever I feel empty
and don’t know where I’ve been
Don’t need a lover for sexual healing
don’t need more novocaine
to avoid this feeling
my sense of humour keeps on
dragging me down
can’t stop moving
till I get home, safe and sound
safe and sound
safe and sound
safe and sound
