Lyrics

Everyone needs a place to runaway, runaway 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 Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway Perfect day, feels like spring Can see forever but you can't see anything Now I wonder why they call it paradise It's a crime, it's a shame And they won't remember your name And your life goes on, and on, and on It's like the twilight zone Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway But she won't go home So she's gotta run, run, runaway She came from a small town So tired of getting pushed around In the dark of the night, no one around She'll run from this shabby town, yeah yeah yeah It's a laugh, it's a game Don't you let it drive you insane 'Cause your life goes on, and on, and on It's like the twilight zone Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway But she won't go home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway She's in the twilight zone Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway It's like the twilight zone Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway But she won't go home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway She's in the twilight zone Yeah, you gotta run, run, runaway It's such a long way home When it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, runaway
