Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World lyrics

Six o'clock in the morning, you're the last to hear the warning

You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

You been falling off the sidewalk, your lips move but you can't talk

Tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you; be still.

Gonna run to you, run to you, woman, I will.

Sunrise like a nose-bleed, your head hurts and you can't breathe

You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

How far are you gonna go before you lose your way back home

You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you; be still.

Gonna run to you, run to you, woman, I will.

Yeah I dreamed that I saw Dali with a supermarket trolley

He was tryin' to throw his arms around a girl.

He took an open top beetle through the eye of a needle

He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world.

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman be still.

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman, I will.

Nothing much to say, I guess; just the same as all the rest

Been tryin' to throw your arms round the world.

And a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle

When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

Gonna run to you, run to you, run to you

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you, woman be still

Woman be still, woman be still, woman I will.
