E                  B
Time is the only truth,
            G#m
Is the only friend that we have.
                 A
To look forward to,
E             B
Space, was an all night groove.
              G#m
Honey, I sink deeper in,
                  A
Trying to get to you.

Chorus:
        E
And it feels like we are always,
              B
We’re on the run.
         G#m
Yeah, it feels like we are always,
              A
We’re on the run.

Home was a place I knew
What a burning desire
To get back to you
When I am full of years
Wash my sins away my dear
Can you tell the night is through

Chorus:
'Cause it feels like we are always
We are on the run
'Cause it feels like we are always
We are on the run
'Cause it feels like we are always
We are on the run
We are on the run
We are on the run,
the run, the run, the run, the run...

Babylon, your soul is waiting to arise
Your soul is waiting to arise
Your soul is waiting to arise
I walk alone
I walk alone into the light
Your soul is waiting to arise

Oh we are on the run
Oh we are on the run

Chorus:
And it feels like we are always
And it feels like we are always
And it feels like we are always
We are on the run, the run, the run, the run
And it feels like we are always
And we feels like we are always
And we feels like we are always
We are on the run, the run,
the run, the run, the run, the run...
