Marathon Man
Fast-paced Revelations: Marathon Man's Urban Odyssey
Lyrics
Here comes Marathon Man,
Introduction of Marathon Man
Coming as fast as he can,
Highlighting Marathon Man's speed
Like a bolt of lightning down on the street,
Describing Marathon Man's swift descent like lightning
Too fast to fail on his flying flipping feet
Emphasizing his speed and agility
He sees the cities weeping disease
Observing the suffering of cities
He sees the business men and the fleas
Noticing both businessmen and societal parasites
There are communists in Hampstead Mansions
Reference to political ideology in Hampstead Mansions
He sees them, and he runs right past em
Ignoring or surpassing communists in his pursuit
Here comes Marathon Man
Reiteration of Marathon Man's arrival
C-c-Coming as fast as he can
Reaffirming his high speed
Down the streets and avenues
Navigating through streets and avenues swiftly
Too quick to be caught by BBC news
Remaining elusive to mainstream media
He sees the cities secret lives
Seeing the hidden lives of cities
He sees who you are when you cheat on your wives,
Noticing infidelity and deceit in relationships
He sees the scumbags carrying knives
Observing criminal elements with knives
He sees the thrill seekers desperately alive
Witnessing the intensity of thrill seekers
Here Comes Marathon Man
Repeating Marathon Man's arrival
G-g-Going as fast as he can
Reiterating his high speed
Meet the man who don't need to take speed
Introducing Marathon Man's ability without external substances
He drank 1,000 cups of caffeine
Highlighting Marathon Man's extreme caffeine consumption
He sees the city when it's on its knees
Observing the city's struggles
He sees much more then you and me
Claiming Marathon Man's superior perception
He'll run around, you won't believe what he found
Running to discover surprising truths
The immoral and the moral walk the same ground
Highlighting the coexistence of morality and immorality
There ain't no high ground here,
Denying the existence of a moral high ground
There ain't no martyrs here
Rejecting the presence of martyrs
There ain't no romance here
Rejecting romance as an ideal
There's no such thing as a hero here
Denying the concept of heroes in this context
