The Great Escape

Hey! Hey!
There's a run away headed to the train platform!
Goddammit

Hey hey! Miss Run away
Which direction are you headed today?

Hey hey! Whatcha doing here?
Run along now little lady

Hey hey! Ain't there school today?
Clock's striking eight and girl aren't you late?

Hey hey! Is it time to go?
Can't be waiting round' no more

I see the train doors closing
It's me that they're calling
So please, get out of my way
Run away, run away

She's a run away, run away

What? No!

Look at her eyes, darting side to side, there she goes
Look at her feet, she don't miss a beat, she's shuffling
Front to the back, looking kind of whack, she
Shows no fear, that run away

Hi! My name is Mia
I'm eighteen years old this year
And cards on the table, I'm running away from home!
See, just normal teenagers stuff
I'm sure you've all done it before, right? No...?
Well, I'm really scared of what's ahead
But I guess
This is my great escape!

Hey hey! Girl what's the crime?
Tryna get away from doing time

Hey hey!
I know your secrets. Shh...

Hey hey!
What you're experiencing here is really
just the result of childhood trauma that is
manifesting itself in 'rebellious' adolescent actions -

Hey hey!
Extra! Extra! Girl makes a break from home
and the police are in pursuit!

Life's not as smooth as I thought
And strife leaves me distraught
I've arrived at one conclusion
Run away, run away

She's gonna run away, run away

Look at her smile, faking, that's her style, there she goes
Look at her hands, shifting like the sands, she's trembling
Fast and slow, look at her go
But she shows no fear, that run away

Wait. What if this changes nothing?
What if in the end it all stays the same?
But you know what, I'll cross that bridge when we get to it

So what now?

Run away, run away

So I can?

Run away, run away

So I should?

Run away, run away

But if I-

Run away, run away

Ah, screw it

So here I go, running 'gainst the flow

You go girl!

No turning back, I'm on a one way track

Yaass Queen!

Fast and slow, look at her go
She shows no fear
That run away, run away, run away, run away, run away
RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY
