Running Just to Catch Myself

[00:13.21] I am driving
[00:14.63] I am late for work
[00:16.32] Spilling coffee
[00:17.53] Down my whitest shirt
[00:19.52] While I'm flossing
[00:20.94] And I'm changing lanes
[00:23.38] Oh Yeah
[00:25.70] Now I'm driving
[00:27.18] Through the parking lot
[00:28.78] Doing eighty
[00:30.15] Hey what the heck why not
[00:31.84] Watch it lady
[00:33.39] 'Cause your in my spot
[00:35.44] Once again
[00:37.51] It's early to work
[00:38.99] And here's a surprise
[00:40.55] I got a McMuffin for just 99 cents today
[00:43.12] I think they ran a special
[00:46.72] CHORUS:
[00:47.14] I can't stand still
[00:48.28] Can I get a witness
[00:49.94] Can you hear me
[00:50.78] Anybody, anybody
[00:53.14] I think I am running just to catch myself
[00:59.94] Maybe someday I could fly away
[01:02.39] Go to Key Largo or Montego Bay
[01:04.80] Sport my speedo, maybe grab a tan
[01:08.25] A dream vacation, wild elation
[01:14.94] Now I'm running
[01:16.61] Straight into my boss
[01:18.33] And he's angry
[01:19.66] Oh and he calls me Ross
[01:21.25] Which is funny
[01:22.75] 'Cause that ain't my name
[01:25.10] And that's lame
[01:26.86] I'm still running
[01:28.50] Running very late
[01:30.49] For a meeting
[01:31.76] Wait, that was yesterday
[01:33.38] Guess I'm early for the one next week
[01:37.27] Oh how sweet
[01:38.82] I get on the ladder
[01:40.62] I corporately climb
[01:42.27] I wave at my life as it passes me by every day
[01:47.56] My name's not Ross
[01:50.44] CHORUS
[02:03.46] Life in my cubicle is discreet
[02:06.01] Life in my cubicle is neat
[02:09.26] I've got some pictures of my friends
[02:12.18] Some sharpened pencils... where's my pen
[02:15.06] Ten O'clock I'm in a meeting
[02:17.46] Paper cut I think I'm bleeding
[02:20.43] Check my hair it's still receding
[02:23.54] Hey what a life
[02:27.10] Break for lunch
[02:28.28] There's nothing better
[02:29.84] Run outside and don my sweater
[02:31.89] Like Fred Rogers let's be neighbors
[02:35.93] I've lost my mind
[02:38.68] I'm over worked
[02:41.21] And underpaid
[02:42.67] And non-appreciated
[02:45.35] It's just a perk of being of being
[02:48.36] Middle class
[02:50.62] And educated
[02:53.05] One... spinning circles in my chair
[02:54.83] Two... win a game of solitaire
[02:56.72] Three... And I ponder where my stapler's gone
[03:03.34] Four O'clock and I stare at the door
[03:05.80] And I stare at my watch
[03:07.50] Then I stare at the door
[03:09.11] I stand by my desk like I'm going to war
[03:12.02] There's just one thing I'll be needing
[03:15.93] Grab my paycheck as I'm leaving
[03:18.59] Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh
[03:19.88] It's five o'clock
[03:22.97] It's time to go
[03:24.35] There's crowds to fight
[03:25.70] And horns to blow
[03:27.53] It's talking fast on my cell phone
[03:29.34] Hey watch out that's reckless driving
[03:33.06] Five O'clock
[03:34.89] It's time to leave
[03:36.48] To hit the couch
[03:37.90] And watch TV
[03:39.69] Set the clock and go to sleep
[03:42.46] It's 8 am on Monday morning
[03:44.64] Again and again and again and again and again
[03:56.49] Driving around
[04:00.19] Nowhere to go
[04:04.03] And so I hang with my lady Oh,
[04:07.00] And chill with my bro's
[04:09.66] It's okay, in my Cabriolet
[04:15.09] I can't stand still
[04:17.77] Can I get a witness
[04:19.30] Can you hear me
[04:20.74] Anybody, anybody
[04:22.50] I think I am running just to catch myself
[04:28.31] When I meet God
[04:29.89] I will have a question
[04:31.52] I just forgot my question
[04:34.52] I think I am running just to catch myself
[04:37.70] Oh oh oh
[04:41.33] Oh oh oh
[04:44.75]
