Marillion - Runaway Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)Did you cry when they dragged you homePut a lock on the door and the telephoneWas a runaway girl all they could see ...Have the nights and the days that youve come throughMade the right seem wrong and the false seem trueAnd was the runaway girl all they could see ...A teenage extra from the satellite tvRunaway girlToo bad, too badRunaway girlToo wild, too wildWere they deaf to the prayer behind your liesMaybe they didnt dare to ask you whyWas a runaway girl all they chose to seeAll they were prepared to admit toRunaway girlToo bad, too badRunaway girlAreal wild childSo you cower in the towns forgotten placesAnd you make your bed with unfamiliar facesAnd at last youve got your freedom but thats all youve gotYoure tryin to make your mind up if youre better offYou pretend to wait for washing in some laundromatBut youre damned if youll give them the satisfaction of you going backYoud freeze to death before youd share a roof with themAnd youd starve before youd let him get his hands on you againDid you cry when they dragged you homeDid you cry when they dragged you homePoor little runaway, poor little runaway
