[00:00.00]Runaway - Devlin
[00:03.39]Oh yeah
[00:05.83]Oh yeah
[00:09.98]Oh
[00:10.30]Listen yeah
[00:11.62]A lifetime of dreaming visualising paradise
[00:14.12]I woke up rolled over and told my girl we're leaving
[00:17.06]It's time to sacrifice a lot
[00:18.47]Cause you ain't happy with your job
[00:19.79]And round here it's like nothing seems appealing
[00:22.24]So let me know you feel the same
[00:23.74]Throw your life into a case and we'll depart from Victoria this evening
[00:27.41]And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
[00:29.61]Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden
[00:32.20]I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day
[00:34.78]Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away
[00:37.58]And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe
[00:40.04]I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake
[00:42.62]And if I disappear for years and reappear
[00:45.15]Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear
[00:47.98]Or would I have lost clarity
[00:49.89]In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually
[00:51.70]I gotta leave I gotta go
[00:54.00]There's nothing here for me no more
[00:56.55]I gotta be free I gotta be
[00:59.17]Somewhere that I can just be me
[01:01.97]And I run run runaway run run runaway
[01:07.90]Run run runaway I runaway
[01:13.08]We share a last cigarette then walk into the station
[01:15.61]Purchase two tickets to an alien destination
[01:18.21]Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi cultural races
[01:21.99]But not me and my girl we're breaking free
[01:23.68]Like an escapist cause we need to escape this
[01:26.04]And I for one have got my mind made up
[01:27.97]Even if where we stay is make shift
[01:29.97]I can't remain in this domain of semi ape s**t
[01:32.08]Because all I see is hatred
[01:33.60]I wonder if I disappeared how many men would miss me
[01:36.08]Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history
[01:38.58]I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery
[01:41.64]And vanish off the planet like a mystery
[01:43.82]And if I did return and things were the same or worse
[01:46.55]You'd see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse
[01:49.05]And I'd be straight back on my travels
[01:51.21]Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English channel
[01:53.27]I gotta leave I gotta go
[01:55.25]There's nothing here for me no more
[01:57.81]I gotta be free I gotta be
[02:00.44]Somewhere that I can just be me
[02:03.14]And I run run runaway run run runaway
[02:09.19]Run run runaway I runaway
[02:15.34]As the carriage pulls away I pull my lady closer
[02:17.78]And I tell her she's okay
[02:19.36]Cause if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid
[02:22.43]And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze
[02:24.99]But now I've come of age
[02:25.95]And as the train starts entering suburbia a smile comes across my face
[02:29.88]The unwinding of eternal rage that was locked up inside
[02:32.94]Just like my mates behind prison gates
[02:34.96]If I could runaway and come back another day
[02:37.41]I'd let the song play on the summer's longest day
[02:40.22]Kick back and just enjoy the raves with a lager and a spliff to blaze
[02:45.10]If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place
[02:47.76]I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face
[02:50.26]I'd let the song play on the summer's longest day
[02:52.82]While I roll upon the roads along the motorway
[02:54.40]I gotta leave I gotta go
[02:56.49]There's nothing here for me no more
[02:59.12]I gotta be free I gotta be
[03:01.61]Somewhere that I can just be me
[03:04.41]And I run run runaway run run runaway
[03:10.56]Run run runaway I runaway
[03:23.96]I runaway
