Fugadà

Runningfrom

I roam narrow, dark and mysterious streets

There's nobody around, some stars in the whimsical night

Away from the reek

Running away from my previous record

From those who say: "I feel you", but they're lying

From the hair I'm growing, ecce rapper 1

I'm sorry, I prefer waxing

I run away from my cells, Montecristo 2

In the rush I wound myself, splinters and bandages

Don't answer the phone, Chi l'ha visto? 3

Are you looking for geniuses? I suggest Mendel 4

Psycho among people, fixed

Not like Alfred Hitchcock's shower curtains 5

But roaming in the fog, in the snow

In the desert like Christ from Betlehem

I'm running away, you call me like you do with a lift

(Like a lift, like a lift)

I can't hear you, I'm running fast like Flash and Sonic

I'm looking for peace, sorry

I hear the tolls here for my time has come

In the woods I run my marathon

Awake by night like a prostitute

Remo Remotti, away from my mom Rome 6

Running from

Running from, running from, running from

I run away from the storefront of a gala

I don't need a map, you can smoke it 7

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

Smoke rises from the pyre, ooh la la

Enjoy my ruin, Yucatán 8

I'm running from

From other people's business, barefoot, McCartney 9

With Fugazi on the speaker, I run away 10

From the wood planks of the stages, with a burglar's stride

When the alarm goes off

Like in front of those who aim their gun

Breakneck speed, so still

Sirens wailing I don't understand 11

I run at 20 mph, 12not a coward nor a chicken

Because only those who don't risk never leave their home

I run away like a father of a family

But I do it for my son

So that he'll become a good artist

I leave everything, I'm dying, I retreat, Caporetto and Waterloo 13

Reeking like when in retreat I dive my head into the toilet water, oh 14

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

I run away from the storefront of a gala

I don't need a map, you can smoke it 7

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

Smoke rises from the pyre, ooh la la

Enjoy my ruin, Yucatán 8

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

I run away from the storefront of a gala

I don't need a map, you can smoke it 7

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

Smoke rises from the pyre, ooh la la

Enjoy my ruin, Yucatán 8

I'm running from

Running from my recurring dream

I run half naked, myth Hermes

Running away like the stars of the West

I'm preyed on by ghosts like Macbeth 15

Running from friends, from groups

I prepare my luggage, you prepare Kleenexs

You don't have to comfort me, it's not my goal

Because I want to be isolated, like Fidel 16

My body is still, as if it was aching

I'll take up dancing, as if Matisse 17

Sanremo lights, my true eclypse 18

I run away from '97, 19 Jena Plissken 20

Come, scavenge

My coffin that you now see smoking

Read the note here in the opening

"I hope the afterlife has a way out"

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

I run away from the storefront of a gala

I don't need a map, you can smoke it 7

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

Smoke rises from the pyre, ooh la la

Enjoy my ruin, Yucatán 8

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

I run away from the storefront of a gala

I don't need a map, you can smoke it 7

I'm running from

Running from, running from, running from

Smoke rises from the pyre, ooh la la

Enjoy my ruin, Yucatán 8
