Back Away

Kids'd always tease him

You know how they can be

Mum and dad would leave him

Father beat him constantly

When he grew into a young man

The girls would gather 'round

No-one ever reached him

He was too shy to ask them out

The town was disbelieving

Was it Luke that robbed the store

Always such a nice boy

Said the lady from next door

How could he be so desperate

To go with such a plan

The devil must have got him

Shouted father from the van

(Back away from the door he cried)

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away from the door he cried)

(Back away from the door or die)

He started out on vodka

Sniffing glue to ease the pain

Then he'd smoke a little crack

Now it's heroin and cocaine

(Back away from the door he cried)

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away from the door he cried)

Back away

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away from the door he cried)

Back away

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away from the door he cried)

Back away

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away from the door he cried)

Come on Luke, give it up

(Back away from the door or die)

For the sake of our unborn child

They battered down the door

She pleaded I'm his wife

Nobody would listen, it was too late

They took his life

(Back away from the door he cried)

(Back away from the door or die)

Like it was nothing

(Back away from the door he cried)

They took his life

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away from the door he cried)

(Back away from the door or die)

They took his life

(Back away from the door he cried)

Back away

(Back away from the door or die)

(Back away, back away, back away from the door)

(Back away, back away, back away from the door)

(Get back)

(Back away, back away, back away from the door)

(Get back)

(Back away, back away, back away from the door)

They took his life

Get back
