Kapitano - Run Faster (Zen Wisdom)
A lonely room, a crowded mind
Caught between two friends
One to hold, one to betray
Commitment to be made
One has been around the world
One seems still a child
We all know what I have to do
Face them both and chose
To stand still
I run faster
They say a man cannot serve two masters
I flip a coin
But don't call
Just sit and stare at the wall
Are they using me? Am I using them?
How did we get here?
Take a chance or be alone
Before you turn to stone
One is sleeping on a train
One is just a call away
Is it wrong for just a while?
Pick up the phone and dial
To stand still
I run faster
They say a man cannot serve two masters
I flip a coin
But don't call
Just sit and stare at the wall
...Run faster
...Two masters
...Don't call
...Stare at the wall
To stand still
I run faster
They say a man cannot serve two masters
I flip a coin
But don't call
Just sit and stare at the wall
Run Faster

Run Faster
by Johnny Cashpoint
The part of the guilty conscience at this performance was played by Andy Balham.
Walking along, minding my own business
When who should I see coming out of the night
But my guilty conscience, shuffles along,
Trying to stay out of the light
CHOURS: I've been running scared since the day that I was born
I'll be running scared until the day I die
He pointed at me like an army general
To his firing squad, said "What you looking for?"
I said, a little peace, love and understanding.
He said "I've got all these pictures from the Second World War"
CHORUS
"better run faster, you better run faster
Cos I'm getting closer, yeah, I'm getting closer
Better run faster cos I'm getting closer
And when I catch up, it'll be a disaster."
Just as I expected!
My future has been infected
By my past - why does the past have to last?
"There goes the last of another bad year" but
January First's frankly feeling the same
Nothing much develops 'til the day that you die
Except my ever expanding shame
Shame x 3

Run Faster Lyrics
These may be different in the recording, because I changed stuff around a lot. But here they are in some form:\\
Run Faster
by Historyman
The only thing I have to remember you
is the photograph you took last night
There's a house on a hill, and it's still,
but you can feel the movement
Cumulo-nimbi are frozen mid-fight
and above it all you're beaming like a moonbeam, baby,
with a camera in your hand
Fast Shutter, Fast Shutter
The button runs the chain of command
you'll always be a simple little girl WITH A CRUSH with my younger brother
the only thing I have to remember you
is the journal that I took from your bedroom drawer
There's a sketch of a boy, fifteen or sixteen
Strato-cumulus surround him, bathed in light
and above it all you're beaming like a moonbeam, baby,
with a charcoal in your hand
Draw Faster, Draw Faster
But you brush away my hand
You'll always be a simple little girl with a crush on my younger brother.
oohh
To be honest, I don't remember you at all
Like all the other girls, you just aren't that memorable
If I hadn't swiped that journal from your bedroom drawer
If I hadn't developed that picture you adored
You'd be gone like the other girls who'd been through here before
Run Faster! Run Faster!
One day you have to make a stand
Or you'll end up like the rest, in love with my younger brother

Run Faster - by roymond
Guest rap: Abom
French runway announcer: Monk
more information
I love my B35
I love my Bx9
and my M23
of course my Q32
these all are fine
like corked red wine
the speed that penguins swim
the speed that chickens run
a speed with walkers close behind
is this the best we do?
how does it affect you
when millions get caught in the grind?
the "pokey" awards are for the slowest city buses
and the pokiest of routes would call out many cuses
cause at 3.4 miles-per-hour, well, you're almost walking
and i bet that on a summer day you would do some talking
to the driver and the mayor and the kid that's sittin pretty
while a pregnant girl is standing trying to get across the city
yes, a king penguin can swim at 5.3 mph
a chicken can get down at 9, so hurry hurry up and wait
i love my S92
i love my M66
adore the M14
oh yum, the 101
they've lots of time
cause they've got mine
the speed that penguins swim
the speed that chickens run
a speed with walkers close behind
is this all we can do?
or does it affect you
if millions get caught in the grind?
“There’s something terribly wrong when the slowest city buses come in a distant third behind chickens and penguins and just ahead of the average pedestrian.”
the speed that penguins swim
the speed that chickens run
a speed with walkers close behind
what should we do, master?
first run fast, then faster
we're just tired, do you mind?

<b>Run Faster</b>
<i>Andre was here at midnight</i>
We try so hard, sometimes to let all go
Wondering why we must never hold on
Wondering why we have to move so fast
When all we need is not so far, so far
Is not so far,
Is not so far
Now we talk of years past
Talk and argue, but we never run fast
Never run fast, never run faster
If next year you’re still happy
If next year am still not dead
Let’s get together and make something happen
For the good of human kind
For the good of human kind

When I kiss you my blood runs faster....
I don't know about you
But I'm fucking tired
I don't sleep at night
I don't feel right
When is it going to end
Cause it's you I'll miss
When I hold you close
And I leave with a kiss
Why can't I tell it to your face?
How can you be happy in this place?
I'm not one to use words
And I don't like to sing
Sometimes I'm just a pussy
I hope you're not listening
I won't know what to say
When it's over, when it's done
A kiss is all I'll give
Faster my blood will run
When I kiss you my blood runs fuster....
When I kiss you my blood runs faster....
I don't know about you
But I'm fucking tired
I don't sleep at night
I don't feel right
When is it going to end
Cause it's you I'll miss
When I hold you close
And I leave with a kiss
Why can't I tell it to your face?
How can you be happy in this place?
I'm not one to use words

CHILDREN OF GOD - RUN FASTER:
Music: Puce
Vocals and Lyrics: Jute Gyte
the worms that crawl inside us
they curl around our bones
the chains that bind us to our death
we drag it as we blindly crawl
the sky is black and empty
the ground below is gray
we nurture our little deaths
in endless concrete rain
we steal meaningless glances
from in between the bars
we spend our whole lives crawling
away from what we are
when we should run right to it
and smash against its hard black wall
we don't mean anything
we don't mean anything at all
this life
it's just shit and disease
it's just pain and death
so run faster

RUN FASTER - deshead
(actually, deshead's liver)
No one ever cries for me now
No, but I run faster anyway
Despite the warning signs
No one ever cries
The last two weekends have been the hardest I recall
1 or 2 more like that, and you'll find me on your coffee table
No one ever cries for me now
No, but I run faster anyway
Despite the warning signs
No one ever cries
Don't be surprised to find me waiting by the door
When you get in we'll sit down, and have a little chat
Well I might be in you now, but in 10 years that could change
If you keep on treating me like the water

Poor June
words and music: me
we run faster and faster away
and if we stop, the wind may blow us away...
she stands there and looks at me with her big blue eyes
and wonders if i'll cross over
over to the otherside
and i'm just standin' there staring
no words seem to form
but meanings and disbeliefs
of what's coming over me...
we run faster and faster away (and faster away)
and if we stop the wind may blow us (it may blow us away)
we run faster and faster away (and faster away)
and if you look back, it'll never be the same (it'll never be the same)
it's like bighting the hand that feeds you
the manna lacin' bread
our the old myths, read from a book that is so very displeasing
but difficult
and if i run far enough
it makes it all false
not a single word true
cause i tell myself this so...

I'm giving it my all
But I'm heading for a fall
But all that I can do
Is run faster
For something less than I am worth
As I tumble down to Earth
But all that I can do
Is run faster
Please listen to the way I feel
I need to get some more time to heal
My lungs are getting ready to explode
I can't run any faster
I get the feeling I should leave
It's getting harder to believe
You don't know what it is I'm going through
I'm running faster
How can you tell me what to do
If I am dead I will not see things through
What you want isn't easy done or said
I'd like to see you run faster
I'm giving you my all
But I'm ready for a fall
When all that I can do
Is run faster

Edge of LA
Run Faster
and if you think that you can get away
I'm right behind you
And I'll be upon you anyday
Run Faster
Adn if you think you've got a better plan
I'm closing in on you
Just Like the $6 million man
Don't look over your should
If you do, it'll be over
This race, this chase
You'll be disgraced
when I put you back in your place.
Run Fast
Run Fast
'Cuz I know you know it won't be long
'Til I catch up with you
And put you back where you belong
Run Faster
Don't look over your should
'Cuz real soon, this will be over
This race, this chase
You'll be disgraced
when I put you back in your place.
