Runaway - Damn Yankees

Summer night, moonlit sky

Tearing pages from a magazine, she cries

«I don’t wanna be the lonely one tonight»

She said, «I came to this place, full of dreams

Young and innocent and only 16

Now I wonder if it’s too late to turn back»

So she runs, and she hides

And she dries the tears from her eyes

And the night goes on, and on, and on

She’s in the twilight zone

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway

It’s such a long way home

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway

Perfect day, feels like spring

Can see forever but you can’t see anything

Now I wonder why they call it paradise

It’s a crime, it’s a shame

And they won’t remember your name

And your life goes on, and on, and on

It’s like the twilight zone

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway

But she won’t go home

So she’s gotta run, run, runaway

She came from a small town

So tired of getting pushed around

In the dark of the night, no one around

She’ll run from this shabby town, yeah yeah yeah

It’s a laugh, it’s a game

Don’t you let it drive you insane

'Cause your life goes on, and on, and on

It’s like the twilight zone

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway

But she won’t go home

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway

She’s in the twilight zone

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway

It’s such a long way home

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway

It’s like the twilight zone

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway

But she won’t go home

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway

She’s in the twilight zone

Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway

It’s such a long way home

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway
