 2x
I'm  running madly,
I  dont really know from what.
I've  been living my whole  life
 like some phrase  at the tip of my tongue.
Dont  really know how to say  it,
it's  always just out of reach;
Stays  locked away in my larynx
along  with my freedom of  speech.
 I'll use the rubber  on my shoes,
 to erase  all that  I've done.
 And, if I just  keep adding miles and miles  to the soles,
 I can erase  all that's gone wrong.
Some  people write their stories  with ink  and a ballpoint  pen.
 But I'll use the rubber on  my shoes till streets  and rivers end.
 3x
 I roam alone and restless,
 a ghost through the alleyways.
 Preyed upon by no one,
 but loved by just the same.
 You might feel my touch:
 a cold breeze against your skin.
 But, you'll just unroll your shirt sleeves,
 and shiver, movin' on your way again.
 I'll use the rubber on my shoes,
 to erase all that I've done.
 And, if I just keep adding miles and miles
 to the soles, I can erase all that's gone wrong.
 Some people write their novels with ink and a fountain pen.
 But, at dawn it's on the streets I'll don my words with my shoes in hand.
 3x
 I can't figure out the harmonica solo ending.
 I play it as G with fret 3 on the d string, and just move the baseline chromatically
 from E to G each note:

[same as above:]
I roam alone and restless,
a ghost through the alleyways.
Preyed upon by no one,
but loved by just the same.

You might feel my touch:
a cold breeze against your skin.
But, you'll just unroll your shirt sleeves,
and shiver, movin' on your way again.

I'll use the rubber on my shoes,
to erase all that I've done.
And, if I just keep adding miles and miles
to the soles, I can erase all that's gone wrong.
Some people write their novels with ink and a fountain pen.
But, at dawn it's on the streets I'll don my words with my shoes in hand.
