Scene Beyond Dreams The Words in the Tones Three There's gotta be a record of you someplace You gotta be on somebody's books The lowdown / A picture of your face / Your injured looks The sacred and profane / The pleasure and the pain Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete And it's your face I'm looking for / On every street A three-chord symphony crashes into space The moon is hanging upside-down I don't know why I'm still on the case / It's a ravenous town And still you refuse to be traced / Seems to me such a waste Every victory has a taste that's bittersweet And it's your face I'm looking for / On every street -- Dire Straits / On Every Street A renegade / Rides a runaway train To liberate / Tear these bonds asunder A fugitive / Running from a chain gang Comfort me / Grant me absolution Running all my life / Running all my days Running through the night / Seems like forever Take me now / I'm so tired Take me now / This time forever -- The Alarm / Rescue Me So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep I promised myself / I'll dig deep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep / There's no way out This time I really have led myself astray Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded? Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drowning in blame With a ticket on a runaway train And everything seems cut and dry Day and night / Earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Bought a ticket on a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch / A little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain -- Soul Asylum / Runaway Train Running in the wilderness / And dreaming in the sun And crying to the sky at night / For God's eternal Son -- Dave Mason / The Lonely One Well, I know it's gonna end in laughter / Son, I know it's gonna end in joy The surrender in the garden / Don't you run death poet no more -- The Call / Surrender You may find a better way You may find the reason for it all Say you walked on holy ground Say you've heard the sweetest sound of all But you find out that you never really cared And you find out that you have no love to share at all So you challenge everyone you meet Crying out to fill a void in you What are you running from, my love? What's this thing you're guilty of? Follow me and never feel accused But you never do believe a word I say And you never did believe there'd be a day of reckoning So you run and you run and you run / And you never stop -- The Call / You Run Through the chill of winter / Running across a frozen lake Hunters hot on his trail / All odds are against him With a family to provide for / Something he must keep alive Will the wolf survive? Standing in the pouring rain / All alone in a world that's changed Running scared now / Forced to hide In a land where he once stood with pride But he'll find his way / By the morning light Sounds across the nation / Coming from young hearts and minds Gather drums and old guitars / Singing songs of passion It's the truth that they all look for / Something they must keep alive -- Los Lobos / Will the Wolf Survive And once again they've come out of the past And though your mind is cool / Your heart is beating fast It's a long and twisting journey / From the sweeping northern plains To the outcrops of the jungle / Bowed beneath the tropic rains One by one they've nailed the others / But you always got away What it is that keeps you just that step ahead / No one can say In one last raid the agents of the dawn break down the door Of a house where you were standing / Maybe just an hour before And still the thread continues to unwind You take the hidden roads that only you can find And should they come upon your tracks There's just a question hanging back you left behind: What do you want from me? / What do you need from me? There's no rest for the running man / Why can't you let him be? -- Al Stewart / The Running Man They're looking for you high and low Now there's nowhere for you to go So you just have to come and face the music The wind is changing, you know Are you sure of your friends and your foes? Have you got what it takes to carry it off? -- Elvis Costello / Jackson, Monk & Rowe One humanoid escapee / One android on the run Seeking freedom / Beneath a lonely desert sun Trying to change its program Trying to change the mode / Crack the code Images conflicting / Into data overload 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 / S.O.S. 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 / In distress 1 0 0 1 0 0 Memory banks unloading / Bytes break into bits Unit one's in trouble / And scared out of its wits Guidance systems break-down / A struggle to exist / To resist A pulse of dying power / In a clenching plastic fist It replays each of the days / A hundred years of routines Bows its head a prays / To the mother of all machines -- Rush / The Body Electric He looked beneath his shirt today There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide From the wound a lovely flower grew From somewhere deep inside He turned around to face his mother To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand But the sword that cut him open Was the sword in his mother's hand Though the sword was his protection The wound itself would give him power The power to remake himself At the time of his darkest hour She said the wound would give him courage and pain The kind of pain that you can't hide From the wound a lovely flower grew From somewhere deep inside -- Sting / The Lazarus Heart Four
