The Hold Steady - Runner’s High текст песни

(Verse)
He stopped by and I didn't even recognize
He looked shaky and sweaty and puffy and petrified
He said that thing in California is kind of compromised
I was hoping you'd help me, man, I'm so sick of running

(Chorus)
The doctors said that it was all in his head
Then they discovered the blood
Tried to duck but we still got stuck
Like a sneaker in the Mississippi mud
Speeding through your story of guns and guts and glory
Hoping what you're saying is true
Dude, you gotta sit still if you want me to save you

(Verse)
He jerked around when we joked about the runner's high
He said now that is one high I've never tried
He said that thing in California is kind of compromised
Someone must have said something, man I'm so sick of running

(Chorus)
The doctors said that it was all in his head
Then they discovered the blood
Tried to duck but we still got stuck
Like a sneaker in the Mississippi mud
Speeding through your story of guns and guts and glory
Hoping what you're saying is true
Dude, you gotta sit still if you want me to save you

(Verse)
So quickly from city to city, never knew what state we were in
They got me at some hospital and made me take medicine
It rolled over me slowly and then it pretty much did me in
Warm water and the nurses just floating

(Interlude)
When I came to in Houston
I felt absolutely nothing
No voices, no visions
Absolutely nothing
No pressure no Jesus
No crashes no hassles
I remember a dream about you
Getting hit on the head
Lets play the jerk in the vest game!
And then it came true
The pills they prescribed they made me fragile and fried
I felt full body fuzzy and touchy
I want you to help me
Man, I'm so sick of running x3
Someone must have said something x3
