Runaway

Listen, yeah A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise I woke up and 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 upon 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 would things be the same or worse? You 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
