It's a lifelong project of a life on the lash
I've forgotten how to care but I'll remember for cash
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Light the fuse, sing the blues, I can die if I want to
Tonight we're gonna bring tomorrow's happiness
Gonna live like it's the end
I love you to death, but I must suggest

You'd better run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last

He's an old time blagger
Wraps a hand in band
Still knows the streets of Camden like the back of his hand
He's an all time lover and a marathon man
And with the strength of a thousand men
He's a nightmare hangover
He's a one night stand
He can eat more chicken than any man in the land
Well I've given up caring for happiness
When this heart gives out is when I'll rest

Run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last

Cause tonight we are gonna spend
All tomorrow's happiness
If we don't break before we bend
And tonight your sole aside
It'll turn out nice again
It's only money in the end

Run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last

You'd better run, run, run boy
Faster than the past
Through the looking glass
If you want the night to last
You'd better run
