You know some things about yourself
You know how to keep them in
You think you know your mind
Will hold you through thick and thin

Or whatever the weather throws at you
There will always be shelter here for you
And anything that you want is served for you
I know you need your sense of false security
Your clause to get you out

'Cos whatever you run into
Whatever you run into
Whatever you run into
Will lay you out

You take a selected group of friends
Whose reputations you fear
You're making all the noise
But they see you're still hеre

They don't care if you don't do what you say
Sit and talk likе you did the other day
It doesn't alter a damn thing either way
You haven't moved and you can't do that much else
Except change the clouds
'Cos whatever you run into
Whatever you run into
Whatever you run into
Will lay you out

I know persuasion holds you back
Services that you owe
You try and fight it out
Paralysis still grows

And I can see that you're giving up the ghost
Can't get hold of the things you want the most
You chase your dream and the same old story goes
Like something throws you up in the air
And you land in a public house

'Cos whatever you run into
Whatever you run into
Whatever you run into
Will lay you out
