~Lyrics~
There was a fox
And it was her destiny
To not be caught
So she thought
She could get away
With anything
Causing pain
And so many slain

There was a hound
And it was his destiny
To track the ground
And make all found
How the people begged
For him to chase
track her trace
And put her in her place

Catch me if you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me
Oh oh ohhh

Run fast as you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing outruns me
Oh oh ohhh

The Mountain spoke
and there can
only be one so
Run fast as you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me

The hound chased the fox
And so began their endless race
The paradox
They both thought
They could get away
From their own fates
Legend states
It would always be this way

And he got close
And she’d lose hope
Then he would fail
To catch her tail
They both won
They both lost
In the game of
The paradox

Catch me if you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me
Oh oh ohhh

Run fast as you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing outruns me
Oh oh ohhh

The Mountain spoke
and there can
only be one so
Run fast as you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me

The Mountain has spoken
You will be frozen into stone
The Mountain has spoken
you will be cast away as a constellation

Catch me if you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me
Oh oh ohhh

Run fast as you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing outruns me
Oh oh ohhh

The Mountain spoke
and there can
only be one so
Run fast as you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me

Catch me if you can
(Run fast as you can)
I’ll bet you can’t
(I’ll bet you can’t)
Cause nothing can catch me
(Cause nothing outruns me)
Catch me if you can
I’ll bet you can’t
Cause nothing can catch me
