[Verse 1] (mmh) Quick hands dart, a fleeting grip, Through crowded stalls, a quiet slip. (mmh) Thin and swift, he weaves the maze, Through busy streets, a hungry haze. [Verse 2] (mmh) Eyes on fruit, he times the scene, A perfect moment, fast and clean. (mmh) While orders shouted, heads would turn, His hunger sparked, his legs would burn. [Pre-chorus] (What was that there-eh-eh, ehr?) Something was there. (What was that for-oh-oh, ohr?) And now it's gone. [Chorus] Somewhere around the city... (There's a boy, there's a boy) He blonde, also tall and skinny... (There's boy, there's a boy) Invite him for dinner, (He's feeling hungry) each time he looks thinner, (And still he runs free) (Oh, ah-eh-oh, oh) (Aah, aah, aah) A piece of meat, Anything (anything) That he could eat. (Oh, ah-eh-oh, oh) (Aah, aah, aah) A piece of meat, Anything (anything) That he could eat. [Verse 3] (mmh) Skids on tiles, a vendor’s shout, Dodging hands that reach about. (mmh) A loaf, an apple, just enough, To fight the hunger, life is tough. [Pre-chorus] (What was that there-eh-eh, ehr?) Something was there. (What was that for-oh-oh, ohr?) And now it's gone. [Chorus] Somewhere around the city... (There's a boy, there's a boy) He blonde, also tall and skinny... (There's boy, there's a boy) Invite him for dinner, (He's feeling hungry) each time he looks thinner, (And still he runs free) (Oh, ah-eh-oh, oh) (Aah, aah, aah) A piece of meat, Anything (anything) That he could eat. (Oh, ah-eh-oh, oh) (Aah, aah, aah) A piece of meat, Anything (anything) That he could eat. [Bridge] Run, boy, run (run, run, run) take something, the world will burn. Run, boy, run (run, run, run) You keep going, the world will turn. [Chorus] Somewhere around the city... (There's a boy, there's a boy) He blonde, also tall and skinny... (There's boy, there's a boy) Invite him for dinner, (He's feeling hungry) each time he looks thinner, (And still he runs free) (Oh, ah-eh-oh, oh) (Aah, aah, aah) A piece of meat, Anything (anything) That he could eat. (Oh, ah-eh-oh, oh) (Aah, aah, aah) A piece of meat, Anything (anything) That he could eat.
