People, Running - 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

But still we stand in line

Yeah, this is all addition by subtraction

A simple chain reaction of the mind

Yeah, 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 and keep you up enough

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 answer never comes)

In search of water

(I think we’re standing here, watching people run)

In search of water

Just watching people run

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

Just watching people run
