RUNAWAY 1982

Johny was a rebel child long before his time
In and out of homes and detention centers from the age of nine
On his eightienth birthday, he made himself a solemn oath
And he went and told his girlfriend Sally
That he had a plan for them both

He said, I´ve had enough of all these good conversations
People talk and talk and talk
Girl we can´t wait a lifetime
or we can take a walk

So let´s runaway

She said Johny don´t you know
That they´ll never let me leave my home
So if you gotta go, you´re gonna have to make it on your own
And he said, girl can´t you see they´ve got it planned So that we can never win
I ain´t never been a loser baby, and I ain´t never givin´ in

You see, I´ve had enough of all these good conversations
People talk and talk and talk
Girl we can wast a lifetime
or we can take a walk on the wildside

Let´s runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway, runaway

Well you use to run around this town like a big shot in the scene
Working for the sindicate, live was like a dream
You had a reputation that everybody feared
Waiters rushing for the door where ever you appeared

Than your life began to change, the night they took you in
You gave away a lot of names, just to save your skin
And now your life ain´t worth a dime there´s nowhere you ca turn
The message pasted along the line, that you gotta burn

Shame on you, you don´t know what to do
Shame on you, it´s time to pay the price
Shame on you, your live is turning blue
Shame on you, they´re putting you on ice

Well your face is full of misery, your head is hanging low
Your disposition seems to be heading for a blow
Your whole life is turning black you never had a clue
What is gonna happen when they caught up with you

Shame on you, don´t know what to do
Shame on you, it´s time to pay the price
Shame on you, your live is turning blue
Shame on you, they´re putting you on ice

Well you can´t relie on borrowed time, never thinking twice
When you dubbel crossed the mob, you have to pay the price
The lights have all gone out for you, there´s no-where left to run
And every stanger that you meet, is carrying an gun

Shame on you, don´t know what to do
Shame on you, it´s time to pay the price
Shame on you, your live is turning blue
Shame on you, they´re putting you on ice

I move on to another place
I move on till there´s no-where left to go
There´s something ‘bout a familiar face
Don´t know why in this stream I gotta flow

I think I´me gonna loose myself
But I´me not shure could it be a dizzy spell
Slowly sliding into a purple world
Laying here inside this wishing well

Chorus But the heart is a lonely hunter
Searching in this wilderness
Yes the heart is a lonely hunter
And everywhere is just emptiness

Don´t know what I gotta do
To make you want me the way that I want you
There´s no answere for the way you look
All I find are empty pages in the book

Chorus
But the heart is a lonely hunter
Searching in this wilderness
But the heart is a lonely hunter
And everywhere is just emptiness

Don´t know what I gotta do
To make you want me the way that I want you
There´s no answere for the way you look
All I find are empty pages in the book

Chorus
But the heart is a lonely hunter
Searching in this wilderness
But the heart is a lonely hunter
And everywhere is just emptiness Emptyness...

Tears run down my face, like the morning rain
It never seems to stop, I can´t explane
That you´re givin´ me
today
That´s the price I got to pay
I need you so much, that it hurts me inside
My love for you is deep as the ocean
And twice as wide
But I´ll guess you´ll go on putting me down
There ain´t tears never wash away my fears
Evil love

When are you gonna stop playing your evil tricks
Breaking my poor heart seems to be the way you get your kicks
Well I guess I´ll keep on pushing through
Evil love I really need you
Evil love, I can´t live without you
Evil love

Workin´ on the nightshift trying to survive
Just to keep my body and soul
She don´t care if I am dead or alive
As long as I keep cutting this cole
Look at my fingers tell me what do you see
I´m working ‘em down to the bone
I don´t mind working fot the company
But I´m so tired of being alone

Bad breaks, heartaches
You treat me like a dog in a hole
Bad breaks, earthquakes
Everything is out of control

Baby why do you treat me so mean
Out running ‘round every night
When I come home I know my clothes ain´t clean
But I always treat you right
Every time I wanna get next to you
It seems like you´re playing for time
Like a train running of the tracks
It seems like I´m loosing my mind

Bad breaks, heartaches
You treat me like a dog in a hole
Bad breaks, earthquakes
Everything is out of control

There never has a day gone by, where we could compromize
Now like strangers when we meet, we avoid eachothers eyes
As you stare out into space, these words I want to say
Try to stick to what you´ve got, and don´t just run away

Who was right, when we said farewell in the dark of the night
Who´s to blame, being together was never in vain
It´s Monday morning, and the weekend is done cause the night is gone
I still can´t sleep

Everyday is an endless stream, of things that made no sence
How can you fullfill your dreams by sitting on a fence
But now it´s done, it´s all been said, I have to play it tuff
For a broken heart to mend, a lifetime ain´t enough

Who was right, when we said farewell at the airport that night
Who´s to blame, being together was never in vain
Without a warning, I had to let it go
And still you don´t know

I left my heart back in the orient, down on Bali bay
It´s not the way that I ought to feel, but the way I´me gonna stay
I met you on a summersnight, no clouds were in the skies
How can I forget the magic light, that shone within your eyes

Downhearted, broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted, broken dreams that never really start

It seems all wrong back here at home, there´s no end in sight
Should I be made to drag you all through this
Lovers endless fight
I sometimes think that we should stay, happy on the farm
I sometimes think, that I gave it all away
This love and all it´s charms

Downhearted, broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted, broken dreams that never really start

I know that I will never be the same, there´s nothing I can do
I know that I will never find again, some-one warm like you
I loved you when the springtime came, I loved you in the fall
It´s better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all

Downhearted, broken dreams that never really started
Downhearted, broken dreams that never really start

In the darkness of the night
Waiting for the morning light
Emptyness surrounds me
And my world´s no longer clear
As I sit here on my own
Wishing you were here

Thinking ‘bout the times we left behind
Trying hard to drag the memories from my mind
Now you´re on your own again, you don´t understand
Were the things that I said to you
Castles made of sand

If there´s something I forgot please let me know
‘cause those memories of you won´t let me go

Loving you was easy, I found the words to say
I´m sorry for the things that I did wrong
But when my life is over, and the world has passed away
The magic of our love will linger on
