You may cast off your skin
Make believe there's wind in your hair You've found so many ways to bribe that smile you wear but it's no use The weariness remains The stale blood in your veins |
You take the footsteps at hand
and follow You know the pill is too big to swallow |
So you run along
|
Mr. Body and Mrs. Mind They grow older at different rates So part of you is always running late Trying to compensate |

Vain recorded three versions
of this song. The first version, found on audio cassette, was based
on a japanese traditional instrument, the koto. A few weeks
later, the song was rearranged and underlayed with a stronger beat.
The last version, finished a few days prior to the boating accident
of his parents, is an acoustic miniature. Judging by the time and
care Vain invested in this song, it is obvious 'Runalong' must have
been very dear to him.
