  • I state my case, in hopeful grace
    And take my place, ah
    There's a war outside, we should all get high
    And give a kiss goodbye, ah

    There's just nowhere to run

    On a 747 in a blood-moon sky
    I heard a baby in the rear of the plane start to cry
    I saw panic on the faces of people that fly
    I'm just waiting for a beverage to accompany my pie

    And when the fish grow wings
    And the moon can sing
    Oh baby, I'll come clean

    There's just nowhere to run
    Ah, look at me, I'll go down a mystery, ah
    Are we still having fun?
    Oh, when I leave you'll come chasing after me, ah

    On display only, I said, "Look, don't touch"
    But I peaked too early and I didn't miss much
    Somebody somewhere is doing their best
    And we all don't know what to make of this mess

    It's a video game
    And it's all the same
    And it hurts your brain

    Just nowhere to run
    Ah, favor me, I'll go down a mystery, ah
    Are we still having fun?
    Oh yes, we'll see if you're ride or die for me, ah

    I don't know where my mind is taking me
    I only know my fear of falling
    All of the roads that closed are opening
    I only like to drive the backstreets

    Just nowhere to run
    Ah, wait and see, I'll go down a mystery, ah
    Are we still having fun?
    Oh, when I leave you'll come chasing after me, ah
    There's just nowhere to run
    Oh, we've been played, I got pride inside of me
    Are we still having fun?
    Oh, when I'm free you can ride or die for me, ah Writer/s: Anthony Caleb Followill, Cameron Matthew Followill, Ivan Nathan Followill, Michael Jared Followill
