I had a dream last night in which this song was featured; I think it was an homage to graduating, because the authority in my dream said this was the last day to make an impression.
it first started off as a repetition of "man on the moon"... but I thought, that's not right; so it evolved into a "man on the run", but it still lacked that permanence.
Finally, I got it right: we were a "band on the run"
