Silent Running Lyrics

Mike & The Mechanics Silent Running

Take your children and yourself and hide out in the cellar.
By now the fighting will be close at hand.
Don't believe the church and state
and everything they tell you.
Believe in me
I'm with the high command.

Can you hear me
can you hear me running?
Can you heal me running
can you hear me calling you?
Can you heal me
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running
can you hear me calling you?

There's a gun and amnunition just inside the doorway;
Use it only in emergency.
Better you should pray to God
the father and the spirit.
Will guide you and protect you from up here.
Can you hear me
can you hear me running? . . .

Show allegiance to the flag whatever flag they offer.
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for some day sons and daughters.
Will rise up and fight where we stood still.

Can you hear me
can you hear me running? . . .

Can you hear me
can you hear me running?
Can you heal me running
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me
hear me calling you?
Can you hear me running
hear me running
babe!
Can you hear me running
hear me running!
Calling you
calling you!
