If you want to kidnap me, let me run and hide
You’ve got to give me a chance, you’ve got to give me time
And if I run from you, I’m really running from the moon
Running from the light
I wasn’t always a simple man; sometimes I like to fight
I wasn’t born with a silver hand; I wasn’t born tonight
And if I’m feeling blue, there’s nothing that you can say or do
Just stay out of sight
Untie my arms, unhand me, no one’s gonna pay the ransom for me now
Untie my eyes, I can’t see, but your still voice is haunting me, haunting me
Untie my arms, unhand me, no one’s gonna pay the ransom for me now
Untie my eyes, I can’t see, but your still voice is haunting me, haunting me
I tried to lie my way out of this, but you take no words
I tried to realign my needs, but my voice can’t be heard
And if I run from you, I’m running from what you’ll do
And if I sit here, stay and be quiet, this is gonna be my last night
My last nig ht, my last night, my last night
