Marathon Runner Songtext
von Yellow Ostrich

When I was a boy of seventeen
I know it′s mean but I
I told my friend to give up on her dreams
She hated me but I
I knew the dreams were for the best of us and for the rest of us
And I
I didn't wanna share with anyone

I need a way to see my greatest dance and make them laugh
I could win the wars or lose the battles, too
Whichever′s true
I can another people's live
I can't stop putting on other peoples′ clothes
I love until I leave

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I′m anxious to see what I'm running for
I am a hot air ballon
On a sailboat
I wouldn′t make this my home if I'd learned to float


So take my trash

Just take my earthly life
I′ll try to cry
I will live without the things I love the best
So hold them to your chest
I lose my face
Just lose my stolen wigs
The heads of kings
I run until I know what to believe

[Bridge]

I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see what I′m running for
I am a hot air ballon
On a sailboat
I wouldn't make this my home if I learned to float


I am a marathon runner
And my legs are sore
And I'm anxious to see what I′m running for
I am a hot air ballon
On a sailboat
I wouldn′t make this my home if I learned to float
