I wanna bury my head in the sand Even though i'm pretty sure the whole world can Still see my body standin' above the ground But i don't care sometimes i Just wanna hide maybe if i could find a way To work these wings of mine Or maybe i could run To where the earth meets to sky I'll stick out my thumb and i'll hitch a ride on The phoenix that's headin' straight to the sun And wherever she drops me off i'll run Do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me We can race the earth around the sun, friend you and me Finally defy these laws of gravity I used to be an ostrich Do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me We can race the earth around the sun, friend finally Some wings that work for me I'm not the ostrich i used to be Have you ever been afraid, ever looked away From what the world was sendin' your way Have you ever tried to close your eyes To your heart You ever looked for another way out For a detour around the truth; just livin' lies And wearin' a disguise Well i'm thinkin' that you could come too To run To the ocean's edge To a pretty pastel escape; i'll be the one Floatin' on the wings of hermes And maybe you could borrow superman's cape Oh Do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me We can race the earth around the sun, friend you and me Finally defy these laws of gravity I used to be an ostrich Do you wanna run, do you wanna run with me We can race the earth around the sun, friend finally Some wings that work for me I'm not the ostrich i used to be Oh... i'm not the ostrich Come on now Do you wanna' run Do you wanna' run Do you wanna' run with me Do you wanna' run Do you wanna' run... Do you wanna' run Do you wanna' run with me I used to be an I used to be an ostrich i... Oh, but i'm not the ostrich I used to be Oh, i'm not the ostrich I used to be
