[Verse 1]
Look, there he goes, running home
To the Hume, Sydney Road
Don't go and get your hopes up, kid
Lone Ranger, chase the sun
Cowboy, cactus, granny flat
Talking to the birds kicking out back
Satisfied bungalow
Up on a hill, all alone, maroon throne

[Chorus]
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
Tippy toe, the stable edge
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
The plot, it is thickening
Can't determine anything

[Verse 2]
Repeating weeks before
Better hang up, long-distance phone call
Recognising the similarities
The same old mad qualities
Opposites attract then match
Doesn't mean stay intact
Copycat through this rough patch
To be noticed, to share a bond that never lasts
[Chorus]
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
Tippy toe the stable edge
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
The plot, it is thickening
Blue-eyed runner, will he spend
Christmas all alone again?
Blue-eyed runner says he cares
Finally seems interested
Just to have a connection

[Bridge]
I was lacking something, never felt the urge
I was lacking something, till it started to turn
I was lacking something, for better or worse
I was lacking something, now it's all a blur

[Outro]
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
Yeah, I look more like my mother
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
Yeah, I look more like my mother
Blue-eyed runner strikes again
Yeah, I look more like my mother
Blue-eyed runner, we're so similar
Yeah
[Spoken Word]
You need to show the rough side of the rock
I guess so, yeah
