Paroles de I'm Gonna Run

I slit my wrist with my swing line
Copied myself five hundred times
I pierced my ears with a three-hole punch
Ate twelve dozen doughnuts for lunch

So next week I'm a walk
Next week I'm a walk
And the week after that I'm gonna run

I swam in an Olympic-sized pool
Had a picnic with a ventriloquist
Saw my brother coming up the hill
He wrapped a beach towel 'round my wrist

So next week I'm a walk
Next week I'm a walk
And the week after that I'm gonna run

I dumped Surel for an older man
Now I'm doing it for Dante
Gimme some of that nasty water
I'll take it one sip at a time

So next week I'm a walk
Next week I'm a walk
And the week after that I'm gonna run On one of those things
It's something like a treadmill I think

So next week I'm a walk
Next week I'm a walk
And the week after that I'm gonna run
