[Intro – instrumental only] [Verse 1] Something red At the edge of seeing Quick as a thought Too fast to keep Morning caught In the roots somewhere Mud holding Its small electric shine The trail — Keeping old secrets Like it always has Like it never asked To be understood [Pre-Chorus] Strange little kingdom Cut into the hillside Nothing speaking Still — Everything known [Chorus] There — Gone again The fox in the gutters Running the lines Like laughter remembers No sound Just movement Quick light Under the ordinary No finish No leaving Just — The fox in the gutters Still running Still running [Verse 2] Triple turns And the earth opens sideways Old fear Folded small enough to carry Something smiling Inside the speed Like the day itself Forgot to be heavy Hands full Of weathered silence Wheels teaching gravity Better manners The world — Briefly losing Its sharp corners [Pre-Chorus] Some things live Exactly where we leave them No witness No story Only the strange luck Of finding joy Waiting where it said It would be [Chorus] There — Gone again The fox in the gutters Running the lines Like memory loosens No promise No warning Just quick gold Turning through shadow No ending No answer Just — The fox in the gutters Still running Still running [Bridge] Maybe some things Refuse a name Small impossible creatures Living inside familiar places A trail remembering itself A body forgetting Its arguments The hush before movement The movement before thought And somewhere — Just ahead Not waiting Never waiting [Final Chorus – softer / wider] There — Gone again The fox in the gutters Nothing to prove Nothing chasing No reason Still joy Still speed Still the strange shine Of something Imagined so completely It learned how to stay The fox in the gutters Still running Still running
