Run Away (The Escape Song)

(album: Dark At The End Of The Tunnel - 1990)

Run away—run away from here
Run away—run away from here
Run away all alone—run away from fear
Run away from sadness—run away from tears

Run away from home—from the wife and kids
From the cats and the doggies—run away to forgive
Run into the light....

Hide away—in the lion's den
Play with matches—get burned
Flying high—in an aeroplane
Run away...
In a fast car—on a highway
Burning tracks—towards the sunset
No turning back—and no regrets
I'll think of you... (If I don't forget)

Run away from the church—run away from guilt
Run away from (your) dreams—everything you built
Run into the light....

Hide away—in the lion's den
Play with matches—get burned
Flying high—in an aeroplane
Run away...
In a fast car—on a highway
Burning tracks—towards the sunset
No turning back—and no regrets
I'll think of you....

Run away from the office; from your old work shoes
Run away from crime and the big-city blues
Run away from money and the jaws of death
Run away from lawyers and the government
Run away from your friends and your family, too
Run away from yourself; run away from you

Run away from here....
