about

The story of the drummer of a famous Australian rock band of the 80's who was sacked just after they released their top 10 debut album.

lyrics

Beating the odds to make it to the top -
You never thought that it would ever stop
Promises and visions of all you desire
Passion and destiny fueling the fire
You had it all on the cusp of fame
Everybody wanting to know your name
You just kept doing what the leader said -
With no way of knowing where that road lead

You gotta look around the bend - If you wanna stay one step ahead

You keep on running - from all the ghosts you see
They keep on coming - somebody set them free

Working your fingers to the bone
You carried the load of stardom on your own
Skins and Hearts worn on your sleeve -
Then they turned round and said it's time to leave
Just as you were about to sign
Fame and fortune on the dotted line
The rug was pulled from underneath your feet
Someone new was sitting in your seat

You gotta look around the bend - If you wanna stay one step ahead

You keep on running - from all the ghosts you see
They keep on coming - somebody set them free

Keep on running fast - running from the past
Keep on running past - free yourself at last

You keep on running - from all the ghosts you see
They keep on coming - somebody set them free
So keep on running - until you turn around
There's no more stumbling - upon this foreign ground

Keep on running fast - running from the past
Running just running away
