Why do you run?
Nearly dying in the shadows,
Barely living in the sun.Shamasha, Shamasha
What will you do?
Well, I got my sock
And my very own stock of glue.
I’m running away from me,
And I’m running away from you.
Shamasha, Shamasha
Shamasha, Shamasha
Where will you stay?
I don’t care and I don’t dare
To think of life that way.
Shamasha, Shamasha
Why do you roam?
I have no friend to take me in,
I’m all alone without a home.
Shamasha, Shamasha (X-2)
Shamasha, Shamasha
What of tomorrow?
It may be I’ll only see
Sorrow after sorrow.
Shamasha, Shamasha
What is life to you?
Well I’m always looking out
For something new to do.
Now I’m trying to find
Something for my mind
Stronger more than glue.
Shamasha, Shamasha (X-2)
Shamasha, Shamasha
What do you say?
You know I sleep on my feet
And eat from the street each day.
People seem to insist I die like this
But I don’t see it that way.
Shamasha, Shamasha
