Running Up That Hill Lyrics - Badlees

When the rain is sports arena loud 

In the evening of a self-inflicted day 

And you're contemplating sides that might collide 

The hemlock society and life insurance salesmen 

And you discover all your coupons are for things you hate 

And all your pennies are Canadian 

And you curse that paperweight 

Drown it all and leave it still 

You're a millionaire of words 

Hand in hand, as light as birds 

We'll go running up that hill 

When acquaintances drain your reservoir 

Of cigarettes like bad construction 

And all your phone conversations slither 

Into a sales pitch from the world of Don Lapre 

And the love from a close-as-sisters friendship 

Up and dies like it too often does 

Drown it all and leave it still 

You're a millionaire of words 

Hand in hand, as light as birds 

We'll go running up that hill 

The Funeral Directors' trade show crowd 

Strangles parking, so you drive a while 

Past streets and neighborhoods and ghosts 

Of incidents that now define you 

When the weight of expectation cracks 

Cracks your countenance in the damnedest places 

Drown it all and leave it still 

You're a millionaire of words 

Hand in hand, as light as birds 

We'll go running up that hill 

Drown it all and leave it still 

You're a millionaire of words 

Hand in hand, as light as birds 

We'll go running up that hill
