Runaway — текст песни (Damn Yankees)

Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent

(Everyone needs a place to run away, run away)

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 why they call it Tparadise.`"

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 (twilight zone)
Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away
It`s such a long way home
When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away

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 (twilight zone)
Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away
But she won`t go home
So she`s gotta run, run, run away

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

[guitar solo]

It`s a laugh, it`s a game
Don`t you let it drive you insane
TCause your life goes on, and on, and on....


It`s like the twilight zone (twilight zone)
Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away
But she won`t go home
When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away

She`s in the twilight zone (twilight zone)
Yeah, you gotta run, run, run away
It`s such a long way home
When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away

[chorus fades]
