[Intro]
Okay, so. Um. This could really be crap. I have gotten into this weird '80s thing. I'm allowed! I made an album then. So um, let me think about this little song. I've gotta get the right key. I did this— I played Taco Hour at the Bonaventure. Martini glasses up everybody! So um, I think I got fired for playing songs like this. They said, "this is absolute trash, why are you playing this shit?" And do you know why? Because I wanted the hair. I wanted the hair. So these boys, um, I always went out with guys that had hair that I wanted. If you had big hair, you had a chance of me. Do-do-ding do-do-ding do-do-ding do-do-ding do-do-ding do-do-ding do-do-ding. Hang on. Ba da di dum. Do-do-ding. Hang on, I'm a professional. I'm a professional! Ba-da-ding ba-da-ding ba-da-ding. Ding ding!
[Verse 1]
I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotise me through
Hypnotise me through
[Chorus]
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
[Verse 2]
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
[Chorus]
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
[Verse 3]
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
Peering in my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
[Chorus]
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
And I ran, I ran, I ran away
Oh I ran, oh I ran, oh I ran, oh I ran
Oh I ran away from the guns
From the guns
To a soldier I knew once
[Outro]
And I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away from this
I couldn't get away
I couldn't get away
