[Lyrics for Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Runaway]
RUNAWAY
(Robert Berry)
Youre headed for a better life, something you can feel deep inside
Somewhere where the lights are low, and there aint nobody around to go
Saying things that just aint true, making such a fool out of you
They think they know just where youve been
And they make you feel like living is a sin
So you run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon, you say theres nothing else you can do
Oh cant you see Im just a runaway too, oh but you keep on running
Been livin in, been livin out, you want to know what lifes all about
Youre finding that it aint as good, it dont do what they told you it would
So nows the time 2 make it right, youll walk on out when no ones in sight
I still think theres a better way, but you cant find a reason to stay
So you run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon, you say theres nothing else you can do
So you run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon (Tell me to find me there)
You say theres nothing else you can do
Oh cant you see Im just a runaway too, oh, oh oh
Youre headed for a better life, something you can feel deep inside
Somewhere where the lights are low, and there aint nobody around to go
Saying things that just aint true, making such a fool out of you
They think they know just where youve been
And they make you feel like living is a sin
So you run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon (Tell me to find me there)
You say theres nothing else you can do
So you run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon (You tell me to find me baby)
You say theres nothing else you can do
Oh cant you see baby, oh cant you see, cant you see?
You keep running, youre running and running and
Run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon (Tell me to find me there)
You say theres nothing else you can do
So you run run runaway, and tell me that theres no other way
Say that youll be leaving soon (Oh baby tell me to find me baby)
You say theres nothing else you can do
