People, Running Lyrics - People & Things - Jack's Mannequin

We are just these people 

Happy tangled lives 

We are only chemical and skin 

Barely strapped in 

For this air conditioned drive 

We are tired of waiting 

Still we stand in line 

This is all addition by subtraction 

A simple chain reaction of the mind 

We are just these people running around 

And I am in no hurry to figure it out 

We are just like old ships running aground 

In search of water, In search of water 

We are just these people 

Such tragic little things 

You take your girlfriend to a drug deal 

fall in love and now 

She wears a diamond ring 

We are tired of waiting 

All bandages and strings 

Hold you together keep you up 

And off you drift in no direction 

So it seems 

We are just these people running around 

And I am in no hurry to figure it out 

we are just like old ships running aground 

In search of water, In search of water, In search of water 

I think we're learning that the answers never come (In search of water) 

I think I'll stay in here and watch the people run (In search of water) 

We are just these people running around 

And there's no need to worry we'll figure it out 

We are just these people running, people running around 

In search of water
