Runaway Song
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.
I ain't asking to cry on your shoulder
I don't want to see your happiness falter
I got a sing when things go wrong
I gotta sing a runaway song
And I run (run, run, run, run away) run away
(Run, run, run, run away) yeah, I run away
Fly, fly away
Sneak away, fly away; watch me as I get away, anyway
I can runaway
Show me a man with a pocket full of causes
Says he knows who santa claus is
Talking 'bout a war I should denounce over
In a country with a name I can't pronounce
