accumulate into one
the second half has begun
and I'm not the judge.
innocent are hung
remain unsung
and I hold a grudge.
take a stab in the dark
and then it comes as a shock
finger on the pulse.
everything that can
happens to the man;
see the mannequin smile.

when I am running out
I am running out.
I am running out.

switch the moon and the sun
shield and the gun
clip after clip.
I'd love to stay and watch
make mine what you clutch;
empire slips.
the weight is too much to hold
excuses old
I realize.
everything that can
happens to the man
see the mannequin smile.

you don't get it like I get it. (you don't get it) like I do.
you don't get it like I get it. (you don't get it) like I do.

when I am running out
I am running out.
I am running out.

empire slips.
excuses old
I realize.
everything that can
happens to the man
see the mannequin smile.

when I am running out
I am running out.
I am running out.
