"One Way Rider" lyrics

One Way Rider

Now you're off and running
Run just like you're scared
Run just like a grey dog
Run just like a deer

Something in the bushes
Staring out at you
Staring at your feelings
Feeling like you do

One way rider
One way down the road
Now, baby, I'm
Right beside you
Everywhere you go

Once upon a victim
Circumstance is due
Tend to take a hold on
Everything you do
First we follow leaders
Next we follow fools
Now we follow footsteps
Sneaking up on you

One way rider
One way down the road
Baby, I'm
Right beside you
Everywhere you go

Lovers save your secrets
Trust not unto fools
Don't go look for trouble
It will come to you
Like some long lost passage
Fly in broken lines
Here in the fleeting moment
Really gone this time

One way rider
One way down the road
Yes, baby, I'm
Right beside you
Everywhere you go
