Runaway

Damn Yankees

(Everyone needs a place to run away, run away)



Summer night, moonlit sky

Tearing pages from a magazine, she cries

I don't wanna be the lonely one tonight

She said, I came to this place, full of dreams

Young and innocent and only 16

Now I wonder if it's too late to turn back



So she runs, and she hides

And she dries the tears from her eyes

And the night goes on and on and on



(She's in the twilight zone)

Twilight zone, yeah, you gotta run, run, run away

(It's such a long way home)

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away

Don't you let it drive you insane

'Cause your life goes on and on and on



(It's like the twilight zone)

Twilight zone, yeah, you gotta run, run, run away

(But she won't go home)

When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away, yeah, yeah, yeah



(She's in the twilight zone)

Twilight zone, yeah, you gotta run, run, run away

All you got is to run away

(It's why she runs home)

You gotta run, run, run away

Run, run, run away



(Twilight zone)

Twilight zone, don't you know you gotta run, run, run away

Don't you know you gotta run

(But she won't go home, when it hurts so bad)

You gotta run, run, run away

(She's in the twilight zone)

Twilight zone, don't you know you gotta
