Runaway Lyrics - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

RUNAWAY 

(Robert Berry) 

You're headed for a better life, something you can feel deep inside 

Somewhere where the lights are low, and there ain't nobody around to go 

Saying things that just ain't true, making such a fool out of you 

They think they know just where you've been 

And they make you feel like living is a sin 

So you run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon, you say there's nothing else you can do 

Oh can't you see I'm just a runaway too, oh but you keep on running 

Been livin' in, been livin' out, you want to know what life's all about 

You're finding that it ain't as good, it don't do what they told you it would 

So now's the time 2 make it right, you'll walk on out when no one's in sight 

I still think there's a better way, but you can't find a reason to stay 

So you run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon, you say there's nothing else you can do 

So you run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon (Tell me to find me there) 

You say there's nothing else you can do 

Oh can't you see I'm just a runaway too, oh, oh oh 

You're headed for a better life, something you can feel deep inside 

Somewhere where the lights are low, and there ain't nobody around to go 

Saying things that just ain't true, making such a fool out of you 

They think they know just where you've been 

And they make you feel like living is a sin 

So you run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon (Tell me to find me there) 

You say there's nothing else you can do 

So you run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon (You tell me to find me baby) 

You say there's nothing else you can do 

Oh can't you see baby, oh can't you see, can't you see? 

You keep running, you're running and running and 

Run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon (Tell me to find me there) 

You say there's nothing else you can do 

So you run run runaway, and tell me that there's no other way 

Say that you'll be leaving soon (Oh baby tell me to find me baby) 

You say there's nothing else you can do
