[Silence]
\n[Arrangement: Fast-driving rock with pounding drums, urgent piano, distorted guitar, and a relentless bassline that feels like a sprint through shimmering heat]<\/p>\n
[Intro]
\nRun, run, run
\n(Here it comes)
\nRun, run, run
\n(Here it comes)<\/p>\n
Cook till welldone
\n(Fire in your lungs)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nMorning used to
\n(Mean relief)
\nNow it\u2019s just
\n(A shorter grief)<\/p>\n
Shade gets thinner
\n(Hour by hour)
\nAir turns heavy
\n(Loses power)<\/p>\n
Sidewalks buckle
\n(Rails expand)
\nFields turn brittle
\n(Underhand)<\/p>\n
You keep moving
\n(If you can)
\nTrying to outrun
\n(What outruns man)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nSo, ya think you can outrun
\n(The sun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
Doesn’t sound like much
\n(No not much fun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
So, ya think you can outrun
\n(The sun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
By the time you realize
\n(It\u2019s already won)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nYou can’t beat
\n(The heat)
\nNo, you can’t retreat
\n(Off the street)<\/p>\n
You can’t hide
\n(From the sky)
\nNo, you can’t outrun
\n(The sun)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nSweat turns useless
\n(When the air won\u2019t take it)
\nYour body pleads
\n(But the day won\u2019t break it)<\/p>\n
Heart beats harder
\n(Blood runs thin)
\nHeat gets under
\n(Your weathered skin)<\/p>\n
The power flickers
\n(The fans go dead)
\nHospitals fill
\n(With heat instead)<\/p>\n
And every warning
\n(Starts to sound)
\nLike a siren
\n(Without a town)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nSo, ya think you can outrun
\n(The sun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
Doesn’t sound like much
\n(No not much fun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
So, ya think you can outrun
\n(The sun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
When the night stays hot
\n(Where do you turn?)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nThis isn\u2019t summer
\n(Like summer was)
\nThis is stress
\n(Without a pause)<\/p>\n
Wet-bulb rising
\n(Breath gets tight)
\nNo true shelter
\n(Day or night)<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just weather
\n(It\u2019s a test)
\nOf how much strain
\n(A body lets)<\/p>\n
Before the line
\n(Begins to blur)
\nBetween endure
\n(And disappear)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Distorted guitar solo]
\n[Driving piano riff]
\n[Drum break]<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\nRun if you want
\n(Run if you can)
\nBut heat won\u2019t care
\n(About your plan)<\/p>\n
Run to the shade
\n(Run to the sea)
\nStill it follows
\n(Relentlessly)<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nSo, ya think you can outrun
\n(The sun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
Doesn’t sound like much
\n(No not much fun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
So, ya think you can outrun
\n(The sun)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
But when the whole damn sky
\n(Becomes the one)
\nRun, run, run<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nYou can’t beat
\n(The heat)
\nNo, you can’t retreat
\n(Off the street)<\/p>\n
You can’t hide
\n(From the sky)
\nNo, you can’t outrun
\n(The sun)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nRun, run, run
\n(Here it comes)
\nRun, run, run
\n(Still it comes)<\/p>\n
Heat on your back
\n(Under attack)
\nLadder outta rungs
\n(Fire in your lungs)<\/p>\n
