Dogs on the run

Well we come with what was on our backs
Yeah, when the lea ves had died and all turned black
Back when the wind was cold and blew them round
When we laid our blankets on the ground
Yeah and I woke up feelin hungry
Lookin straight into the sun, and left a cold night on the ground
Like a dog on the run

I fell overboard and washed up on the beach
Yes, let the waves and sand roll over me
I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde
Who said honey I discovered early in life theres ways of getting
Anything I want , some of us are different
Its just something in our blood, theres no need for explanations
Were just dogs on the run

The room was painted blue and gray
All my meals were served on a silver tray
Oh she would laugh, and light m y cigarettes
She said honey, aint it funny how a crowd gathers around
Anyone living life without a net?
And how theyll beg you for the answers
But it wont ever be enough, theres no way you could ever tell em
Its just dogs on the run
