Mad Dog

Pace yourself
You've got a long way before you get to lie down
Stuffing coins in your mouth
Hoping happiness will fall out
I've been blind to the shortcuts
Stuck on the tracks, losing my way home
Keep looking for the end of the tunnel
Never seems to get any closer

Who's gonna keep the lights on?
Who's gonna make it rain?
Calling out to an echo and
Just hoping for a different refrain

Like a mad dog after a rabbit
I keep running, running, running
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere
You know the kickback is automatic
It keeps coming, coming, coming
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there

Brace yourself
You're gonna drag that rock around the rest of your life
You’re dancing on the edge of a knife
Hoping someone else will decide
I've been taking on water
We both know the ship is gonna sink
But I keep reaching for the shore
Never seems to get any closer

Who's gonna keep the lights on?
Who's gonna make it rain?
Always looking for the next big ticket
Always trying to stretch it one more day
Who's gonna make you happy?
Who's gonna keep you sane?
Calling out to an echo and
Just hoping for a different refrain

Like a mad dog after a rabbit
I keep running, running, running
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere
You know the kickback is automatic
It keeps coming, coming, coming
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there

Like a mad dog after a rabbit
I keep running, running, running
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere
You know the kickback is automatic
It keeps coming, coming, coming
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there
