Girl on the Run
Terry Poison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To see you pumpn a ride.
To see you pump it up for ever then you're gonna get home to the girl on the run.
To see you pumpn a ride.
To see you pump it up for ever then you're gonna get home to the girl on the run.
When we think we fall in love, we move around like bubble gum.
We waiste our minds on liquid sounds.
We love so hard we hit the ground.
When we had enough of love.
We break it of to play around.
We dwell sometime on liquid sounds and then we fall and hit the ground.
To see you pumpn a ride.
To see you pump it up for ever then you're gonna get home to the girl on the run.
To see you pumpn a ride.
To see you pump it up for ever then you're gonna get home to the girl on the run.
Off we run to paradise, we fly away in minicabs.
We daze around we hardly stand and then we let each other down.
Off we go to get it done, The time has come to turn you on.
Its easier to dream alone.
Until we think we fall in love.
To see you pimpn a ride.




To see you pump it up for ever then you're gonna get home to the girl on the run.
