Lyrics
The Runaways
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Man on a sidewalk, stone cold
He's carrying everyone's load
And a tear in his eye
Mirrors moon in black sky
His dreams have been building too high
Now he's finding he's lost every way
Hopes shattering one by one day
Don't you trust no one's heart
'Cause they'll tear you apart
And they'll laugh as you're runnin' away
"The time has now gone"
Said the boy on the run
To the crowed as they all turned him away
Don't you give me no hard luck up-raised
Don't you give me more reasons to hate
'Cause the saints of the Brujard(?)
Have been acting too hard
Won't you clear out before it's too late
"The time has now gone"
Said the man with the gun
To the crowed as they all turned away
"The time has now gone"
Said the man with the gun
To the crowed as they all turned away
