Everyday when the clock strikes eight
You make your way to the street
Meeting face to face with fate
Taking all of the heat
Living life by the roll of the dice is going to do you in
Playing the game of beat the clock you can't win

Life on the run
Living fast; Living under the gun
Life on the run
Running out of time

Every night while you make your way
They try to shoot you down
Life's quite a price to pay
To be the king of your town
Flying under the wings of your friends won't always get you by
Just how long do you think you'll be missed when you die

Life on the run
Living fast; Living under the gun
Life on the run
Running out of time

Walking on the edge of life
Won't always bring you fame
Playing truth or dare with fate
It's a deadly game
Don't play it

Life on the run
Living fast; Living under the gun
Life on the run
Running out of time
