danny elfman - running on a treadmill (2020) lyrics
[pre+song]
week four, isolation, going a little crazy, had this tune running around in my head + something i wrote a long time ago, but what the heck? laid down some tracks, we’re doing a real home video ‘cos there’s the director+writer+producer+cameraman+lighting+director+daughter mali elfman shooting me singing… this song
[verse 1]
you got me so i’m running ’round and ’round in circles
you got me so i can’t see my own face
you got me so i feel i’ve been like this forever
you’ve got me so i move without a trace
[verse 2]
i know it’s on your mind
but it’s not what you think it is
i know it’s on your mind
but it’s not what you think it is
[chorus]
running on a treadmill after you
and i’m running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill after you
and i’m running on a treadmill now
[verse 3]
you got me so i’m running ’round and ’round in circles
you got me so i’m moving upside+down
you got me so i’m coming, but i might be going
you got me so i never touch the ground
[verse 4]
i know it’s on your mind
but it’s not what you think it is
i know it’s on your mind
but it’s not what you think it is
[chorus]
running on a treadmill after you
and i’m running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill after you
and i’m running on a treadmill now
[verse 5]
you got me so i even doubt my own reflection
you got me so my heart is inside+out
you got me so my armour offers no protection
you got my head and body filled with doubt
[verse 6]
i know it’s on your mind
but it’s not what you think it is
i know it’s on your mind
but it’s not what you think it is
[outro]
running on a treadmill after you
and i’m running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill after you
and i’m running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill now
running on a treadmill now
[post+song]
and… that’s it
