September Run
by Stefano Paolinelli
Run, run because life hurts
Run, run J.C. because Berlin is cold in September
Run because you stared at the devil in the eye in Alabama
Run because your mom told you to run if they come close
Run down the tracks that the devil is staring from the top
Run, run Girl because your heart is torn
Run to forget that miserable man who put his hand on your face
Run to forget the bitter taste of a gold band in your mouth
Run to forget the bitter taste of your skin and your marriage breaking against your teeth
Run, run Man because your love is flying away
Run because odds are tough and that’s all you got
Run because the film of you and your baby sis going down a slide is playing again in your head
Run because you care too much to bear the pain
Run, run Child because Berlin is cold in September
Run, because you jumped off that wall
Run because your ear is burning and blood is trickling down your face
Run to make it to those buildings
Four people running because Berlin is cold in September
Four people running because life hurts
Four people passing a finish line
Four people… No need to run now
Light will cover one person’s weightless body
Light will cover one person’s naked body
Berlin is not cold
Life does not hurt
…Anymore
One person is warm
One person…
… I am home now
