Lirieke: Shawn Mullins. The First Ten Years. Just Like Me.
She seemed almost demented
As she frantically repented
For the crime in which she filled her empty bowl
It was empty like her soul
She kneeled inside the confession booth
And she told that holy man the truth
But the booth was empty
It was frozen black as coal
It was damp and cold
Where you gonna run to now?
You lost what faith you had somehow
Your show is over, don't you know it
It's time to take a bow
Where you gonna run to now?
She spends her nights with lonely men
And she goes too far every now and then
But it's her longest running show
And the oldest job around
They say she's the best in town
Baby, where you gonna run to now?
You lost what pride you had somehow
Your show is over, don't you know it
It's time to take a bow
Where you gonna run to now?
Now in 5 more years she'll be 23
In a lot of ways she's just like me
She gives away her body
And I, I give away my soul
We're always searching
For life's treasures to unfold
Yeah, we give it all to you
Yet we have no pot of gold
So where are we gonna run to now?
We lost what love we had somehow
We're on this one way highway
Until the bitter end
But where are we gonna run to then?
So where
Where are we gonna run to then?
As she frantically repented
For the crime in which she filled her empty bowl
It was empty like her soul
She kneeled inside the confession booth
And she told that holy man the truth
But the booth was empty
It was frozen black as coal
It was damp and cold
Where you gonna run to now?
You lost what faith you had somehow
Your show is over, don't you know it
It's time to take a bow
Where you gonna run to now?
She spends her nights with lonely men
And she goes too far every now and then
But it's her longest running show
And the oldest job around
They say she's the best in town
Baby, where you gonna run to now?
You lost what pride you had somehow
Your show is over, don't you know it
It's time to take a bow
Where you gonna run to now?
Now in 5 more years she'll be 23
In a lot of ways she's just like me
She gives away her body
And I, I give away my soul

Yet we have no pot of gold
So where are we gonna run to now?
We lost what love we had somehow
We're on this one way highway
Until the bitter end
But where are we gonna run to then?
So where
Where are we gonna run to then?
