Oingo Boingo - Run Away (the Escape Song) lyrics

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 & kids

From the cats& the doggies--run away to forgive

Run into the light . . .

CHORUS

Hide away--in the lion's den

Play with matches--get burned

Flyin' high--in an aeroplane

Run away . . .

In a fast car--on a highway

Burnin' 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

Runaway from (your) dream--everything you built

Run into the light . . .

CHORUS

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 .
