I used to run by the Hudson when it was getting dark
Twenty miles on the jogging trail in Riverside Park
And as the sun would set I could get from one-fifty-five
And end up where the streets all have names
I’ve been trapped in my bedroom all spring
Trying to get in daily mileage to keep myself in trim
And as the sun sets, the bugs get to eat me alive
And my feet eat the miles of my long run
And on my long run everything is fine
And on my long run everything works out
And on my long run I don’t have to worry about anything
Your mom and dad live smack dab at the middle of the line
Running from Washington to Garvey, in a cabin in the sky
And I can spend all morning running six-mile loops round the Park
Considering the honor due the dead:
From Frederick Douglass to Columbus to Duke Ellington I fly
On past the Frick, the Lincoln jail, and then the spot John Lennon died.
This whole island used to be a bunch of thickets and schist;
I used to be a Berkman fanboy
And in the long run, everything’s all right
And in the long run, everything is fine
And in the long run, I won’t have to worry about keeping time
Back in school my dude we used to look like Leopold and Loeb
Back then the thought of my mortality would make my head implode
Now don’t I look just like a genius for predicting my own end?
I’m fairly certain that it’s coming down the line.
O never fear, bro, naught's to dread, look not to left nor right:
In all the endless road you tread there's nothing but the night.
So I’ll keep running and keep running and
keep running, and keep running, and keep running, and keep running.
And on my long run, what am I running from?
And on my long run, what am I running toward?
On my long run, I make up these songs so that I won’t get bored
And in the long run, the the names turn to numbers
And in the long run, the house always wins
And in the long run, I won’t have to worry about staying thin
And in the long run my song won’t amount to anything
And in the long run the stars will burn down to nothing
And in the long run I won’t have to worry about what you think
