'Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)' adalah single pertama dari LP Hounds of Love karya Kate Bush 1985.

Judul asli lagu tersebut, “A Deal With God”, diubah atas desakan departemen pemasaran EMI agar lebih cocok untuk negara-negara religius.

37 tahun kemudian, kebangkitan popularitas akhirnya membawa lagu itu ke No. 1 di tangga lagu iTunes AS pada Mei 2022 setelah ditampilkan dalam serial televisi Sci-fi Stranger Things.

Lirik:

[Verse 1]

It doesn't hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Do you want to feel how it feels? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

You don't want to hurt me (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

But see how deep the bullet lies (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Oh, there is thunder in our hearts (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Is there so much hate for the ones we love? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

Tell me, we both matter, don't we? (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

[Pre-Chorus]

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 (Ye-yo)

Say, if I only could, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

You (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

It's you and me

It's you and me, won't be unhappy (Ye-yeah, yeah, yo)

[Bridge]

Oh, come on, baby (Ye-yeah)

Oh, come on, darling (Ye-yo)

Let me steal this moment from you now

Oh, come on, angel (Ye-yeah)

Come on, come on, darling

Let's exchange the experience (Ye-oh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus]

And if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road

Be running up that hill

With no problems

Say, if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road

Be running up that hill

With no problems

Say, if I only could

I'd make a deal with God

And I'd get him to swap our places

I'd be running up that road

Be running up that hill

With no problems

[Outro]

Say, if I only could

Be running up that hill

With no problems

If I only could, be running up that hill

If I only could, be running up that hill
