Billy Joel – Running On Ice Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: The Bridge

There^,s a lot of tension in this town
I know it^,s building up inside of me
I^,ve got all the symptoms and the side effects
Of city life anxiety

I could never understand why the urban attitude
Is so superior
In a world of high rise ambition
Most people^,s motives are ulterior

Sometimes I feel as though I^,m running on ice
Paying the price too long
Kind of get the feeling that I^,m running on ice
Where did my life go wrong

I^,m a cosmopolitan sophisticate
Of culture and intelligence
The culmination of technology
And civilized experience

But I^,m carrying the weight of all the useless junk
A modern man accumulates
I^,m a statistic in a system
That a civil servant dominates

And all that means is that I^,m running on ice
Caught in the vise so strong
I^,m slipping and sliding, cause I^,m running on ice
Where did my life go wrong
[ Running On Ice lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/billy-joel/running-on-ice/ ]

You^,ve got to run
You^,ve got to run

As fast as I can climb
A new disaster every time I turn around
As soon as I get one fire put out
There^,s another building burning down

They say this highway^,s going my way
But I don^,t know where it^,s taking me
It^,s a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race
It^,s breaking me

I get no traction cause I^,m running on ice
It^,s taking me twice as long
I get a bad reaction cause I^,m running on ice
Where did my life go wrong

You^,ve got to run
You^,ve got to run

Running on ice
Running on ice
Running on ice
Running on ice
