Well we come with what was on our backs
Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black
Back when the wind was cold and blew them `round
When we laid our blankets on the ground
Yeah and I woke up feelin` hungry
Lookin` straight into the sun, and left a cold night on the ground
Like a dog on the run --
I fell overboard and washed up on the beach
Yes, let the waves and sand roll over me
I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde
Who said, honey I discovered early in life there`s ways of getting
Anything I want, some of us are different
It`s just something in our blood, there`s no need for explanations
We`re just dogs on the run
The room was painted blue and grey
All my meals were served on a silver tray
Oh she would laugh, and light my cigarettes
She said, honey, ain`t it funny how a crowd gathers around
Anyone living life without a net?
And how they`ll beg you for the answers
But it won`t ever be enough, there`s no way you could ever tell `em
It`s just dogs on the run --
