Fugitive Lyrics by David Gray

The Best of David Gray

2009

[Intro]
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Is the answer none of the above
Crouched in a whole like a mud-streaked fugitive
Every day a different version of
Pouring it away like water through a sieve

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey better realize my friend
Lord in the end now you can't take it with
Gotta live

[Chorus]
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye
Gotta try

[Verse 2]
Well it's flesh and blood and camouflage
Straight into the wall now something's gotta give
Just another act of sabotage
Seen through the haze of a mind-rot sedative

[Pre-Chorus]
When will you realize my friend
Lord in the end now you can't take it with
Gotta live

[Chorus]
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye
Gotta try
The world that you're forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie
Gotta try
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
When will you realize my friend
Lord in the end now you can't take it with
Gotta live

[Chorus]
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye
Gotta try
The world that you're forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie
Gotta try
It's for the taken
And you know not to testify
Gotta try

[Outro]
Every day just a different version of...
