(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 if it's too late to turn back.
|
|
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
|

|
|
It¡¯s a laugh, it¡¯s a game
|
Don¡¯t you let it drive you insane
|
Cause 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
|
|
