Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin' to find out who I am.
Endless nights and Olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran

Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Don't know how I became
What I suddenly am...

(Chorus)
Marathon man keep a-runnn'
Marathon man keep a-runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man.

Wind is gone and my head's in haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race.

Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Concentrate on the pain
Put my soul in command.

Wasting my youth
Chasing dreams, testing truth
Taking turns being deceived
And deceivin'
Bound with a rope
Made of heroes and hope
'Till I found nothin' left
To believe in.
