Are you still waking in a panic 

are you sleeping in a ball 

are you still eating dinner in your car 

can't waste precious working hours 

and the phone keeps ringing like a church on judgment day 

you say it drives you crazy 

wouldn't have it any other way 

what are you running after these days 

who are you leaving home alone 

what are you running after these days 

you any closer to the spotlight 

now that I'm gone 

are you still living life distracted 

from all the things you need to do 

that promise you fame and power from the masses 

all the things love can't get you 

and the jobs keep coming like Cuban refugees 

and the crowd is loving 

your success at any price disease 

what are you running after these days 

who are you leaving home alone 

I hope that she's strong 

what are you running after these days 

you any closer to the spotlight 

now that I'm gone 

going around on your hamster wheel 

hoping to fill your hole with gold 

and the sound of wild applause 

what are you running after these days 

who are you leaving home alone 

I hope that she's strong 

what are you running after these days 

you any closer to the spotlight 

now that I'm gone
