[Verse] I know just what I'm doing Let him think there’s something brewing I make him care Oh I make him care But I’m a ghost in the thick of the air [Prechorus] I dangle the prize Keep it close Carrot on a string It shows But it’s a game Don’t you see? Control is the key [Chorus] Run Run Boy Chase the flame You’re caught in the rules of my game The stick’s behind The carrot’s ahead I own the whispers in your head [Verse 2] I’m a shadow in the moonlight Your heartbeat skipping in the fight You call it love I call it play The chase keeps you alive today [Bridge] It’s a trick A sleight of hand The tighter you hold The more it expands I laugh I twist I pull the thread Who’s really alive And who’s undead? [Chorus] Run Run Boy Chase the flame You’re caught in the rules of my game The stick’s behind The carrot’s ahead I own the whispers in your head
