I'm a runnin,' I'm a runnin' from you
And you're a chasin, 'cause you're a chasin' me to the end of the earth,
Or the city of kingdom come
I can see ya, I can see you way back
You can see me, you're gonna stab me in the back
But not unless I can outrun you
Well, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because I'm never gonna let you get me at all
I can see you, you're a bullet in flight
I'm a runnin' through a star in the night
That you'll never shine upon this darkened earth
Oh, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because I'm never gonna let you get me at all
Over mountain, over valley and sea
I'm a runnin' so that you can't catch me
And if the gods are there, they will pull me through
Because I'm never gonna let you get me at all
Because I'm never gonna let you get me at all
Runnin' away from you, runnin' away from you |
- Rufus was only 14 years old at the time he performed this song in Tommy Tricker & the Stamp Traveller. He was nominated for the 1989 Genie Award for Best Original Song, and it also earned him a nomination for the 1990 Juno Award for Most Promising Male Vocalist. Rufus later revisited this song for the film sequel, The Return of Tommy Tricker (1994); a re-recorded shorter, acoustic version is heard during the closing credits.
