Madonna - Mer Girl

[00:43.02] I ran from my house that cannot contain me [00:50.03] From the man that I cannot keep [00:57.08] From my mother who haunts me, even though she's gone [01:04.07] From my daughter that never sleeps [01:12.05] I ran from the noise and the silence [01:17.09] From the traffic on the streets [01:39.03] I ran to the treetops, I ran to the sky [01:45.07] Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair [01:55.06] And soaked my shoes and skin [01:59.05] Hid my tears, hid my fears [02:19.03] I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees [02:26.05] I ran and I ran, I was lookin' for me [02:40.04] I ran past the churches and the crooked old mailbox [02:47.00] Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks [02:54.06] Up into the hills, I ran to the cemetery [03:01.07] And held my breath, and thought about your death [03:14.01] I ran to the lake, up into the hills [03:21.08] I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still [03:29.05] And I saw the crumbling tombstones [03:36.01] All forgotten names [03:41.03] I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears [03:48.01] I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears [03:59.07] And the ground gave way beneath my feet [04:05.09] And the earth took me in her arms [04:12.09] Leaves covered my face [04:15.09] Ants marched across my back [04:20.02] Black sky opened up, blinding me [04:32.03] I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees [04:39.08] I ran and I ran, I was looking for me [04:46.05] I ran to the lakes and up to the hill [04:53.04] I ran and I ran, I'm looking there still [05:02.00] And I smelled her burning flesh [05:05.09] Her rotting bones [05:09.02] Her decay [05:12.08] I ran and I ran [05:17.05] I'm still running away [05:20.13]
