Track 5 from the album: "The Ballad of Shorty Long," released in 2011 by Dachshund. www.dachshundband.com

lyrics

When wine is flowing down
a cup full of cheer
they’ll hand you the keys to town
and shake your hand

So why you still running, why you still running now?
Why you still running, why you still running?
Why you still, why you still, ah —

Good night, sleep tight, dreaming
moments golden gleaming
more than day’s been bringing
so good night, sleep tight, yeah…

With flowers in your crown
you’ll drive a parade, yeah
their voices will resound
singing your name

So why you still running, etc…?

Good night, sleep tight, dreaming
moments golden gleaming
more than day’s been bringing
so good night, sleep tight, yeah…

Let’s meet the “real you”
What’s your fantasy?
Let all your secrets out.
You’ve got the nation’s ear!

So why you still running, etc…?

Good night, sleep tight, dreaming
moments golden gleaming
morning bells are ringing
morning bells are ringing
oh yeah…
