Running lyrics - crowdsource!

Another one where Ed's lyrics are really hard to decipher! Here's what I'm hearing so far... Help me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Got me running, got me running though the race it never ends
Got me running or else I'm [turning]
Got me coming as you're going and the [change] it never ends
I'll be running till the second coming.

___________
Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel ain't no fun 
Now I've ____ all the shit you're flushing.
Deep trouble, come trouble
Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel's getting _____
Like the sewage in the plumbing cos we left the fucking water running.

Got me diving, got me diving, got me deep back in ______
When I'm _____ you're too late coming.
Got me running, got me running but the race it never ends.
I'm feeling good and it's slightly stunning.

_____ came for, for lift-off, I followed my take-off.
Living in the shadows. Crossing my fingers.
A date with the gallows and a reprieve not looking likely.

You got me running.... 

Oh please don't [stop] _____ take-off
__________
You run the tunnel
_______
____ see you fuck off.

    Running (working lyrics)

    Yes or No

    You got me running
    got me running
    but the (something) never ends

    you got me running
    or else I'm done in

    you got me coming as you're going
    in the cage that never ends
    you got me running
    yeah the second coming

    contain us
    contain us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel aint no fun now
    I hope you know the shit your pushing

    control us
    control us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel's getting funneled
    like the sewage in the plumbing
    cuz we left the fucking water running

    yes or no

    got me diving
    got me diving
    got me deep I've hit the bens
    when I'm sewn in I'm too late coming

    got me running
    got me running
    like the (something) that never ends
    I'm feeling done in
    it's rather stunning

    contain us
    contain us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel aint no fun now
    I hope you know the shit your pushing

    control us
    control us

    lost in the tunnel
    and the tunnel's getting funneled
    like the sewage in the plumbing
    cuz we left the fucking water running

    we're cleared for
    for liftoff
    I close my eyes
    take off
    living in the shadows
    crossing my fingers
    a date with the gallows
    and a reprieve's not looking likely

    (ed's rant---not gonna try)
    you got me runnning (x4)
    oh please
    you are the tunnel
    I am unstable
    fuck off
    off

    Feeling pretty good about the parts in bold. Really having trouble making much sense of the outro.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah


    Got me running
    Got me running
    But the race it never ends
    Got me running
    Or else I'm done in
    You've got me coming
    As you're going
    And the chase it never ends
    I'll be running
    'Til the Second Coming

    Dictator, love hater

    Lost in the tunnel
    And the tunnel ain't no fun
    Now I'm lost in all the shit you're flushing

    Victrola, controller

    Lost in the tunnel
    And the tunnel's getting funneled
    Like the sewage in the plumbing
    'Cause we left the fucking water running

    Whoa
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    Got me diving
    Got me diving
    Got me deep
    I get the bends
    When I'm summoned
    I'm too late coming
    Got me running
    Got me running
    But the race it never ends
    I'm feeling done in
    It's rather stunning

    Dictator, love hater

    Lost in the tunnel

    Like the sewage in the plumbing
    'Cause we left the fucking water running

    Was cleared for
    For liftoff
    Aborted my
    Takeoff 
    Living in the shadows
    Crossing my fingers
    A date with the gallows
    And a reprieve not looking likely

    You got me running

    You got me running
    You got me running

    Deep trouble, come trouble
    Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel's getting funnelled
    Like the sewage in the plumbing cos we left the fucking water running

    Got me diving, got me diving, got me deep back in the bends
    When I'm summoned, you're too late coming.
    Got me running, got me running but your race it never ends.
    I'm feeling good and it's slightly stunning

    Maybe he was stuck with the microphone cable and he was angry about and shouted something. And afterwards they liked it so much.

    Updated my post above. I am not hearing "love hater" at all, but I made that change.

    The ending is still unclear for the most part.

    Welp, this settles it. From the fan club email:

    The Lyrics to "Running"
    Got me running, got me running
    But the race it never ends
    Got me running, or else I’m done in

    You got me coming as you’re going
    And the chase it never ends
    I’ll be running, til the second coming

    Dictator,... love hater
    Lost in the tunnel and the
    Tunnel ain't no fun
    Now I’m lost in all the shit you’re
    Flushing

    Victrola,... controller
    Lost in the tunnel and the tunnel’s
    Getting funneled
    Like the sewage in the plumbing
    Cause we left the fucking water running

    Got me diving, got me diving
    Got me deep, I get the bends
    When I’m summoned, or too late coming

    You got me running, got me running
    But the race it never ends
    I’m feeling done in, it’s rather stunning

    Was cleared for,... for lift off
    Aborted my,... take off
    Living in the shadows,...
    Crossing my fingers
    A date with the gallows,...
    And a reprieve not looking likely

    You got me running
    You got me running.

    I've listened to this song dozens of times now, and I simply cannot hear anything remotely sounding like "love hater." Is it just me? Is anyone out there hearing "love hater"? I realize "love hater" is coming from an official source, but I'd sooner believe they're saying "potato" than I would that they're saying "love hater."
