RUNAWAY

Music and Lyrics: MICHAEL M. JUNG

 

YOUR HOUSE IS SOLD YOUR MOTHER DIED

YOUR BROTHER KILLS FOR KING AND PRIDE

THE SKY IS GREY FOR YOU MY FRIEND YOU BETTER THINKING TWICE

BUT DOWN THERE IN THE HARBOUR LIES A SHIP TO SAIL TO NEVERLAND

SO GET YOUR BAGS AND JOIN THE TRIP TO HELL

 

IT WAS THE 29^TH OF JUNE IN 1655

WHEN THE „GOLDEN MAID“ WAS SETTING SAILS TO LEAVE

THE CAPTAIN RAISED HIS VOICE AND SHOUTED OUT TO ALL THE GUYS ABOARD

„YOU’LL NEVER SEE THE CANDYMAN NO MORE“

 

RUNAWAY RUNAWAY

TO A PLACE YOU MET IN A DREAM LAST NIGHT

RUNAWAY RUNAWAY’

THERE IS A ROAD FOR YOU TO BE WILD AND FREE RUNAWAY

 

A BILLION STORMS A BILLION SHARKS

THEY FACED THE DEVILS EYE

BUT FINALLY THEY REACHED THE PROMISED LAND

BUT IN THE NIGHT THE INDIANS CAME AND BURNED THE SHIP TO HELL

BUT THE BEST OF’EM ESCAPED THE DEVIL’S CLAW

 

IT WAS TOM AND 16 OTHER GUYS WHO BUILD A WALL OF STONE

THEY FOUND A TOWN CALLED “LIBERTY“ AND LIVED THERE ON THEIR OWN

AS YEARS GO BY AND SHIPS ARRIVED THE TOWN GREW ON AND ON

AND LIBERTY HAS DIED FOR TOM AGAIN

 

AND TOM DECIDED ONCE AGAIN TO LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND

SO HE CLIMBED UP TO THE RED CLIFFS

LIKE A ROAD INTO THE SKY

HE KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO NOW EVEN IF IT MEANS TO DIE

LIKE A BIRD UPON HIS HEAD HE WANTS TO FLY
