I’m running, I’m running, and I just don’t stop,
I’m running to be me, to be alone, in the solitude of myself,
I want no friends no help and no aid
So I’m running, I’m running,
I’m running naked by the street.

I’m naked, I’m naked, for all can see
My life is revealed, and it’s a horror
I’m revealed.
Sun burning bright, there be no hiding
While light keeps me in sight.

The cars screech past to glimpse
For a moment
Then to judge, never stopping to ask
Or wonder why

I hide in a shack at the intersection,
But my friends of the past were all waiting
So I ran to find freedom, to just be me
Alone, by myself, simply let me be
I want no friends, I want no company.
I’m running, I’m running, till the government catches,
They arrest, I say I want to be alone, to be only me;
They respond, no, you will be who we make you to be
I’m naked
They know all about me.

Through their halls, they lead me through
I’m naked, all that pass see me
Let me be, I want no company;
Three girls crying, three girls crying,
I hide behind my predator to shield my shame,
As my nakedness, my captivity, is all my blame;
I greet the one I know
But tears keep her words below,
Three girls crying, behind their blankets
They try to hide their sorrows,
The three girls crying, the three girls crying.

Trapped in a chair, I’m naked, I’m naked,
Thespians wandering in, playing with fire as waves,
Throwing and tumbling and twirling flames
Entrancing the congregation that they form me with,
I’m naked, all can see me, I want to run to hide
I want no friends, no company,
Someone let me go, to be me

Just be me
All
alone.
