Run the race, play the crowd You know you've got it figured out I won't say anything at all The vacant stares, the coming costs The tidal wave that will kill us off This is your playground, but I'll drown We're dying flowers, throw in the towel Run while you can, you can still get out out I won't sit around to watch the flame go out A bitter taste left in my mouth What once was love amounts to nothing now I guess I'll see you around I'll sing the songs, I'll play the crowd But they've all got me figured out They know what I'm about Yet you can't see just what I want Just want you happy, babe, that's more than enough But you want something more We're dying flowers, throw in the towel Run while you can, you can still get out out I won't sit around to watch the flame go out A bitter taste left in my mouth What once was love amounts to nothing now I guess I'll see you around Well, here I go, I'm leaving now There ain't much else to talk about The words I want are caught up in my mouth And all I want is to turn around And show you the tears that have emptied out But I'm tired of the run around We're dying flowers, throw in the towel Run while you can, you can still get out out I won't sit around to watch the flame go out
