[Verse 1]

There's someone knockin' on my door

There's someone knockin' on my door

I think they're looking for me

I think they're looking for me

Pretend there ain't nobody home

Don't make a sound; don't even move

Don't give them nothing to see

I think they're looking for me


[Chorus]

(S'alright, s'alright) I got to run, I got to run

(S'alright, s'alright) I got to run, I got to run

(S'alright) I got to run!


[Verse 2]

There's someone crawling in my yard

There's someone creeping on my roof

There's someone tapping my phone

I feel it deep in my bones

They want to probe my intuition

They want to find out what I know

Why don't they leave me alone?

Why don't they leave me alone?


[Chorus]

(S'alright, s'alright) I got to run, I got to run

(S'alright, s'alright) I got to run, might be the catcher

(S'alright, s'alright) Or the controller, can't be too careful

(S'alright, s'alright) I take precautions, they're very clever

(S'alright!) I got to run!


[Bridge]

Faceless surgeons armed with razors

Cut out our imagination


[Verse 1 (repeated)]

There's someone knockin' on my door

There's someone knockin' on my door

I think they're looking for me

I think they're looking for me

Pretend there ain't nobody home

Don't make a sound; don't even move

Don't give them nothing to see

I think they're looking for me


[Chorus]

(S'alright, s'alright) I got to run, I got to run

(S'alright, s'alright) I got to run, might be the catcher

(S'alright, s'alright) Or the controller, can't be too careful

(S'alright, s'alright) I take precautions, they're very clever

(S'alright!) I got to run!


[Bridge]

Faceless surgeons armed with razors

Cut out our imagination

It's a strange thing, deadly reason

Razors cut with such precision

Probing deep without detection

Razors never lie

It's all right


[Outro]

I think they're looking for me

I think they're looking for me

I think they're looking for me

I think they're looking for me
