Lyrics
INTRO
Cool runnings she said to you last night
Cool runnings please don’t put up a fight
VERSE 1
Sometimes it ends too soon
Just when you thoguht it was beginning
Seems every scene is wasted
Thrown on the cutting room floor
VERSE 2
The story hides inside your body
The memory of her skin
tied up in undue reverent quiet
The taste of salt beneath your tongue
CHORUS
Cool runnin’s she said to you last night
Cool runnin’s please don’t put up a fight
VERSE 3
The idea of her stays
tightly wrapped in newsprint pages
And while you chase what you thought you wanted
well, to everybody else it’s clear
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now
I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now
I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’ now, I’m goin’
Wish I could take you along
