I wanna be an ordinary man
I wanna live my life as quit as I can
don't want no crazy woman to rule my world
I want a sensible and normal girl

Whenever I think I got my life in order
I meet a borderline girl who just crossed the border
but I can't see there's anything wrong with her
but she's a nutcase baby she's a crazy girl

Gonna run run run but I don't know where
gonna run run run but I'll see you there
gonna run run run I am never gonna get away
gonna run run run baby where can I go
gonna run run run well I just don't know
gonna run run run I am never gonna get away

Don't wanna be no guitar man
don't wanna be no singer in a rocking band
don't wanna drink no more spirits and wine
and don't want no shrink to read between my lines

There's gotta be a way out of here
there's gotta be a way to stop the ringing in my ears
there's a real thin line between me and apes
there's a real thin line I'm gonna try to escape

Gonna run run run...

I just wanna be an ordinary man
I wanna live my life as quit as I can
don't want no crazy woman to rule my world
I want a sensible and normal girl

Every time I think I'm back on my feet
she's a driveway that don't go all the way to the street
I gotta get out, gotta get out of here
gotta get out cause I don't want you near

Gonna run run run...

Gonna run run run...
