[Intro] (Ghostly "ahh" choir, distant melodica, tape hiss, echoing handclaps) Run away... Run away... Whoa-oh... Run away... [Verse 1] Streetlights melt into the pouring rain, Everybody's got a mask and another fake name. Telephone wires hum a lullaby, Dreaming with my eyes open while the buses roll by. Another Friday chasing something thin, Everybody wants a crown but nobody lets you in. The city's got my heartbeat in a chain, I'm smiling through my teeth just to disappear again. [Pre-Chorus] Take the long road... don't look back... Leave your shadow on the railway tracks. If tomorrow never learns my name, Maybe that's the only way. [Chorus] Runaway! Let the skyline swallow yesterday. Paint the sunrise on a stolen train. Nothing left for us to save. Runaway! We're electric in the pouring rain. Every heartbeat breaking every chain. Sing it loud until we fade away... Run away... [Verse 2] Broken billboards preach another lie, Cheap salvation hanging underneath the neon sky. Everybody's dancing half asleep, While the echoes of tomorrow disappear into the beat. I don't need another perfect plan, Just a pocket full of hope and somebody holding my hand. If we're lost then let the whole world know— Sometimes getting nowhere's how you're finally getting home. [Bridge] Whoa-oh... Hands up to the satellite moon. Whoa-oh... We're too young to rust this soon. Leave the fear beneath your feet. Turn the silence into heat. Every ending starts to move The second we refuse. [Final Chorus] Runaway! Leave the sadness on the avenue. Every color breaking into blue. Watch the whole night bloom for you. Runaway! Even if the stars don't know our names. We'll be singing through the static rain. Nothing ever stays the same. Run away... Run away... [Outro] (Falsetto gang vocals repeating "Run away..." with dub echoes, Farfisa organ, melodica improvisation, tape delay slowly dissolving into feedback.)
