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?
