Kate Bush —
Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)

Lyrics and Music by Kate Bush

It doesn’t hurt me.
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
Do you wanna know,
Know that it doesn’t hurt me?
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
Do you wanna hear
About the deal that I’m making?
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
You,
It’s you and me.

Chorus:
     And if I only could,
     I’d make a deal with God
     And I’d get him to swap our places.
     Be running up that road,
     Be running up that hill,
     Be running up that building,
     Say if I only could, oh.

You don’t wanna hurt me.
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
But see how deep the bullet lies
(Yeah, yeah, yo)
Unaware I’m tearing you asunder.
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)

Is there so much hate
For the ones we love?
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
(Yeah, yeah, yo.)
You,
It’s you and me.
It’s you and me
Won’t be unhappy.

Chorus:
     And if I only could,
     I’d make a deal with God
     And I’d get him to swap our places.
     Be running up that road,
     Be running up that hill,
     Be running up that building,
     Say if I only could, oh.

You,
It’s you and me.
It’s you and me
Won’t be unhappy.
“Oh, c’mon, baby,
Oh, c’mon, darling,
Let me steal this moment
From you now.
C’mon, angel,
C’mon, c’mon, darling,
Let’s exchange the experience, oh…”

Chorus:
     And if I only could,
     I’d make a deal with God
     And I’d get him to swap our places.
     Be running up that road,
     Be running up that hill
     With no problems.

     So if I only could,
     I’d make a deal with God
     And I’d get him to swap our places.
     Be running up that road,
     Be running up that hill
     With no problems.

     So if I only could,
     And make a deal with God,
     I’d get him to swap our places.
     I’d be running up that road,
     Be running up that hill
     With no problems.

     So if I only could,
     Be running up that hill
     With no problems.

     “If I only could,
      I’d be running up that hill.
     If I only could,
     I’d be running up that hill.”
