Falling up a flight of stairs What went wrong, where? There's a room around a man His eyes are gleaming His arms around me One hand in my hair, the other on a gun You look scared Back off, or someone will die Back off, or someone will die Back off, or someone will die He has me by the hair He drags me down the hall Falling up a flight of stairs You never run away, oh to be you You never run away, oh to be you Back off, or someone will die Back off, or someone will die He's a pretty little girl He's my father One way or another He'll get hurt And talking him down is like making it rain
And oh, I'm dry When all I've got is hurt or hurtful I don't feel like sharing It doesn't mean that I don't care You never run away, oh to be you You never run away, oh to be you Oh I can run away, I run away real good Maybe I should've when I had the strenght A winner never stuck with anything he couldn't do What is my way To heaven To heaven To heaven To heaven, to heaven, to heaven To heaven You never run away, oh to be you You never run away, oh to be you Back off, or someone will die You never run away Back off, or someone will die Oh, to be you
