Runaway
Devlins

Listen, yeah

A lifetime of dreaming, visualizing 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 disappear 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 cigarette, 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 disappeared 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 I would 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 recognize 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.
