And the poisoned river
Waiting for my season
Tending carefully, my fire
The instinct keeps me running
Running to keep one chance open
The instinct keeps me running
Of perfect sunny civilization
Running through the grinning shadows
Running through the bare emotion
I know who these people are
Running like a deer
Corruption's built into this plan
Marks on walls, the common outlet
Running 'cause I don't believe it
Running where the sun'll bless me
Running like a bear
A second red light story
They're just getting stiffer
Instinct keeps me running
Instinct keeps me running
Running to keep one chance open
The instinct keeps me running
I know what they stand for
Tricks and trials
Await the child
Tell the truth and always will
Let me out, I can't accept
Running, I'm running
Instinct keeps me running
Instinct keeps me running
Running like a deer
Marks on wall destroy the thought
I have seen the sludgy beach
This whole place is like a maze
Tricks and trials
Nothing's under the other hand
Instinct keeps me running
The instinct keeps me running
Await the child
Running through the grinning shadows
Running like a deer
Instinct keeps me running
The instinct keeps me running
Instinct keeps me running
The instinct keeps me running
Await the child
I have met the naughty rich
The instinct keeps me running
Tricks and trials
Running like a moose
Or like some Medusa
