Running In Place lyrics - Steel Pier

Running In Place

Rita:
Running in place
All of my life
I'd been running in place
What cuts like a knife
Is the one that i trusted to help me run fast
Has left me behind so i'm finishing

Rita:
And i find that my future's
The same as my past
And i'm running
Running, running, running

Running in place
And struck by the notion
I'm stuck in this space
With no forward motion
After the struggling, the smiling,
The scheming
I'm shaken awake
And i find i've been dreaming

It should be good-bye time
But i'm spending my time
Running, running, running

Why am i stranded here choosing
A life with a man that i'm losing
Why after all that he's done
Don't i know
What to do
How to act
Where to run

Dance

(rita dances, furiously expressing her anger and confusion.)

Rita:
It should be good-bye time
But i'm spending my time
Running, running, running, running
Running, running, running
In place

Scene: the dance floor
(the cellophane wedding)
