Devlin - Runaway - radio edit lyrics
[Devlin - Runaway - radio edit lyrics]
A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise
I woke and rolled over and
Told my girl we're leaving
It's time to sacrifice a lot
Cause you ain't happy with your job
And round here it's like
Nothin' seems appealing
So let me know you feel the same
Throw your life into a case and walk
The path from Victoria this evening
And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
Searching for the fruit's from the
Lost garden of Eden
I'm wondering if I runaway and
Came back another day
Then would the young men who roll
With metal put the guns away
And would the devil have took charge
Or would the slum be safe
I pray the latter's right
For everybody's mumsy's sake
And if I dissappear for years and reappear
Would my natural intuition still
Be crystal clear?
Or would I have lost clarity?
In this trivial pursuit we're
Walking through so casually
I gotta leave, I gotta go
There's nothing here for me no more
I gotta be free, I gotta be
Somewhere that I can just be me
And I run run runaway, run run runaway
Run run runaway, I runaway
We share a last cigerette
Then walk into the station
Purchase two tickets to an alien destination
Board the train and witness pain on
All the faces of multi-cultural races
But not me and my girl we're breaking free
Like an escapist
Cause we need to escape this
And I for one have got my mind made up
Even if where we stay is make-shift
I can't remain in this domain
Of semi ape shit
Because all I see is hatred
I wonder if I dissappeared how
Many men would miss me
Or would they all forget like I
Erased my name from history?
I'm still trying yet to make a break
Within the chain of pain and misery
And vanish off the planet like a mystery
And if I did return would things
Be the same or worse?
You see the gear stick shift
And then the whip
Reverse and I'd be straight
Back on my travels
Burning rubber over gravel 'til we
See the English Channel
As the carriage pulls away
I pull my lady closer and
I tell her she's okay
'Cause if we never broke the barricades
Today we'd always be afraid
And left to feel threatened in
This dark and deadly maze
But now I've come of age
And as the train starts enterin' suburbia
A smile comes across my face
The unwinding of eternal rage
That was locked up inside just like
My mates behind prison gates
If I could runaway and come back another day
I'd let the song play
On the summer's longest day
Kick back and just enjoy the raves
With a lager and a spliff to blaze
If I ever contemplate returning
To this crazy place
I'd leave it long enough so
They don't recognise my face
I'd let the song play
On the summer's longest day
While I roll upon the
Roads along the motorway
I woke and rolled over and
Told my girl we're leaving
It's time to sacrifice a lot
Cause you ain't happy with your job
And round here it's like
Nothin' seems appealing
So let me know you feel the same
Throw your life into a case and walk
The path from Victoria this evening
And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
Searching for the fruit's from the
Lost garden of Eden

Or would the slum be safe

And if I dissappear for years and reappear
