Runaway |
| Listen, yeah |
| A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise |
| I woke up, rolled over and told my girl we’re leaving |
| It’s time to sacrifice a lot |
| Cause you ain’t happy with your job |
| And round here it’s like nothin' seems appealing |
| So let me know you feel the same |
| Throw your life into a case and we’ll depart from Victoria this evening |
| And then embark upon a path of rediscovery |
| Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden |
| I’m wondering if I runaway and came back another day |
| Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away |
| And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe |
| I pray the latter’s right for everybody’s mumsy’s sake |
| And if I dissappear for years and reappear |
| Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear? |
| Or would I have lost clarity? |
| In this trivial pursuit we’re walking through so casually |
| I gotta leave, I gotta go |
| There’s nothing here for me no more |
| I gotta be free, I gotta be |
| Somewhere that I can just be me |
| And I run run runaway, run run runaway |
| Run run runaway, I runaway |
| We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station |
| Purchase two tickets to an alien destination |
| Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races |
| But not me and my girl we’re breaking free |
| Like an escapist, cause we need to escape this |
| And I for one have got my mind made up |
| Even if where we stay is make-shift |
| I can’t remain in this domain of semi-ape shit, because all I see is hatred |
| I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me |
| Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history? |
| I’m still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery |
| And vanish off the planet like a mystery |
| And if I did return and things were the same or worse? |
| You’d see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I’d be straight |
| back on my travels |
| Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel |
| I gotta leave, I gotta go |
| There’s nothing here for me no more |
| I gotta be free, I gotta be |
| Somewhere that I can just be me |
| And I run run runaway, run run runaway |
| Run run runaway, I runaway |
| As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she’s okay |
| ‘Cause if we never broke the barricades today we’d always be afraid |
| And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze |
| But now I’ve come of age, and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile |
| comes across my face |
| The unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates |
| behind prison gates |
| If I could runaway and come back another day |
| I’d let the song play, on the summer’s longest day |
| Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze |
| If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place |
| I’d leave it long enough so they don’t recognise my face |
| I’d let the song play, on the summer’s longest day |
| While I roll upon the roads along the motorway |
| I gotta leave, I gotta go |
| There’s nothing here for me no more |
| I gotta be free, I gotta be |
| Somewhere that I can just be me |
| And I run run runaway, run run runaway |
| Run run runaway, I runaway |
