Fly on your way, fly as high as the sun
Wasting love with women in uniform
Run to the hills, run from your wife
Caught somewhere in time into Acacia Avenue

Be quick or be a long distance runner
No prayer for the long distance runner
The loneliness of the long distance runner to the hills
Seventh son of the long distance runner

Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
The stranger of a strange world in a strange land

Flash of the Blaze, aces high, falling down
The evil that the long distance runner do
Running free, live to fly, fly to live, fly to fly
Do or diet or be a long distance runner

Children of Charlotte the harlot
The number of Charlotte the harlot
Fear of the virus of Charlotte the harlot
The virus of the ancient mariner

Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
The stranger of a strange world in a strange land
Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger

Can I play with Charlotte the harlot
Hallowed be thy Charlotte the harlot
You'll take my virus but I'll take yours too
Only the long distance runner die young

Afraid to shoot into the eyes of a stranger
A stranger in a strange world of a strange land
Afraid to look to the eyes of a stranger
The stranger of a strange world in a strange land
