Marathon Man

Here comes Marathon Man, Coming as fast as he can, Like a bolt of lightning down on the street, Too fast to fail on his flying flipping feet He sees the cities weeping disease He sees the business men and the fleas There are communists in Hampstead Mansions He sees them, and he runs right past em Here comes Marathon Man C-c-Coming as fast as he can Down the streets and avenues Too quick to be caught by BBC news He sees the cities secret lives He sees who you are when you cheat on your wives, He sees the scumbags carrying knives He sees the thrill seekers desperately alive Here Comes Marathon Man G-g-Going as fast as he can Meet the man who don't need to take speed He drank 1,000 cups of caffeine He sees the city when it's on its knees He sees much more then you and me He'll run around, you won't believe what he found The immoral and the moral walk the same ground There ain't no high ground here, There ain't no martyrs here There ain't no romance here There's no such thing as a hero here
