runaway

leaving home after midnight
nobody who knows
she's looking for adventure
she wants to live on her own
oh, oh, oh, she's a runaway
oh, oh, oh, she's a runaway
she found a lousy job
lives in a lousy flat
she earns not enough money
but she's too proud to go back
oh, oh, oh, she's a runaway
oh, oh, oh, she's a runaway
she left home, took the midnight train
couldn't think with her messed up brains
excited and still afraid
seventeen, she's gonna search the world
she's such a naive girl
she thinks it's better somewhere else
