Run Away (The Escape Song)

Oingo Boingo


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 & 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 . . .
