Every day you look away hoping for a plane Or car to speed away, and take you far away from here Daddy's cruel, Mummy drools slumped over the sofa Whiskey is her tool, cries the bruises all away Looking for anything A beautiful runaway Waiting for somebody Leave at one, silently close the door behind you Venture into night, find it easy to escape This road side, stood with pride, ready for a hitch hike "Take me anywhere, anywhere I can be me" A pretty naivity Fantastically innocent He'll take you Manchester, he'll take you so far away Dumped on the motorway Ladders and tears and tears You don't know where you are Every day you looked away for a car to take you far away Look around at where you are Raped and hurt in the dirt you'd do anything To be back home again, anything to get away from here
