Run, run, as fast as you can You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man You can look, look, hard as you can You can't see me, I'm the Gingerbread Man Poor old family of man Never mind me, I'm just a Gingerbread Man Only hours away could be a man with a million dollars Only minutes away could be a guy with a gun Only seconds away could be a love that will last forever But if it gets away there might not ever be one In and out, in and out, in and out How many times do I think "in and out, in and out"? This color's not right It needs some more red Maybe it's the light Now I'm not sure I wonder where Ken is What's she doing? Ah, she's asleep He tries to help I know he loves me But sometimes he seems so out of touch And all he cares about are his words So old and tired I need someone to help me And what if that guy follows him? Last week he told me about that man who kept staring at him I can see him with his throat cut now Oh, why do I do this? I can see it all - school picture in the newspaper "Child savagely slain" God, I wish he was home now
