You Can Run But You Can't Hide

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
Words and Music By: Aaron Wolfson


Johnny was a photo man -
living out in Hollywood land
Taking pictures of naked girls -
and living like the Duke of Earl

Didn't care what people'd say -
just kept living his own way
Happy just to be alive -
doing what he likes

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
From all the desires that -
you have in your mind
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
So you might as well face up to it this time

Lynn she was a prostitute -
doing men in high class suits
She really seems to love her work -
so tell me just who does it hurt

Brian has a motorbike -
that he rides, it's what he likes
He used to live like someone else -
but now he's found himself

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
Though you may keep trying
to tell yourself those lies
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
Have to face the truth
that you know deep inside

Why live life -
inside of someone else's rules

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
Though you may keep trying
to tell yourself those lies
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
Have to face the truth
that you know deep inside

YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
tell yourself those lies
until the day you die
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE
So you might as well be truthful
and live life - the way you like
