marathon man

twenty years with my brain in a book, tryin' to find out who i am, endless nights and olympian dreams, of a race i never ran, someone's callin' my name, it's the crowd in the stands, don't know how i became, what i suddenly am, marathon man, keep a-runnin', marathon man, keep a-runnin', i've been searchin' so long, but the answer is finally at hand, i'm a marathon man, wind is gone and my head's in a haze, but i must keep up the pace, got to think about strategy here, if i hope to win the race, someone's callin' my name, it's the crowd in the stands, concentrate on the pain, put my soul in command, marathon man, keep a-runnin', marathon man, keep a-runnin', i've been searchin' so long, but the answer is finally at hand, i'm a marathon man, wasting my youth, chasing dreams, testing truth, taking turns being deceived, and deceivin', bound with a rope, made of heroes and hope, till i found nothin' left, to believe in, marathon man, keep a-runnin', marathon man, keep a-runnin', i've been searchin' so long, but the answer is finally at hand, i'm a marathon man
