Run, run, run for the roses

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine

All good things in all good time



Reach for the sun, catch hold of the moon

They're both too heavy but what can you do?

Reach for the stars, smack into the sky

You don't want to live but you're chicken to die

Oh, you're chicken to die



Run, run, run for the roses

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine

All good things in all good time



Run for the money, caught short on the rent

Big ideas but the cash's all spent

The trouble with love is its other face

You just want the club but you don't want the race

No, you don't want the race



Run, run, run for the roses

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine

All good things in all good time



Run for the rose, get caught on the briar

You're warming to love, next thing, there's a fire

You got the do re, I got the mi

And I got the notion, we're all at sea

Yes, we're all at sea



Run, run, run for the roses

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine

All good things in all good time



Run, run, run for the roses

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine

All good things in all good time



Run, run, run for the roses

Quicker it opens, the sooner it closes

Man, oh, man, oh, friend of mine

All good things in all good time

All good things in all good time
