lyrics
How many times you saw the sky but you missed the stars
And how many times you danced in circle with a thousand cars
And how many times you lost the road but you found a way
How many times you said “I’ll leave” but you finally stayed
I said, I would like… oh well
I said please, watch out… oh well
I wish to run, to run, to escape
I wish to run, to run away
How many times you took the trains just to be on the move
And how many times you’re wide awake and you’d nothing to lose
And how many times you choose a color, tried to paint the world
How many times the inside-monster screamed “I really don’t care”.
Now the people will dance, now the people will dance with me tonight.
And how many times you danced in circle with a thousand cars
And how many times you lost the road but you found a way
How many times you said “I’ll leave” but you finally stayed
I said, I would like… oh well
I said please, watch out… oh well
I wish to run, to run, to escape
I wish to run, to run away
How many times you took the trains just to be on the move
And how many times you’re wide awake and you’d nothing to lose
And how many times you choose a color, tried to paint the world
How many times the inside-monster screamed “I really don’t care”.
Now the people will dance, now the people will dance with me tonight.
