YUSUF/CAT STEVENS
"Pagan Run"

I was on the pagan run
On a superstitious road
Looking for a day to come
To park my restless soul
I was lost and in a mess
Too proud to beg or bow
And though I'd never admit it
I was scared as hell

She said, "Come along with me"
"I'll take you home"
"I'll make you warm again"
Then left me cold, oh

I was on the pagan run
Avarice was my road (oh)
A pilgrim for holy money
Chasing an empty hole (oh)

She said, "Come along with me"
"I'll take you home"
"I'll make you warm again"
Then left me cold, oh
Mm (run)
(Running)

I was on the pagan run
Hiding from the world
Frightened of everyone
Scared of what the future may hold
Scared of what the future may hold
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, woah

I took the wrong road
God showed me where to go
I took the wrong road
God showed me where
I took the wrong road
God showed me where to go
I took the wrong road
God showed me where

(Never going back there)
(Pagan run) mm
(Never going back on a pagan run) mm, oh, oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I tuned out everyone (everyone) (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, God save me! (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I submit myself (submit myself) Lord to You (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Never going back there
