I met you down on the corner Down this old town You were a brown-eyed girl Lookin' for cheap romance Looking for a lonely heart Or just a brand new start You were living all your days Just like a runaway, runaway angel The days went on so endlessly Alone with your shadow Just like another hungry soul Running out of control Always sitting on the corner
You got no place to hide Running away from the streetlights Just like a runaway, runaway angel Maybe someday it happens That angels lose their wings Runaways stop running And meet out in the darkness Embrace and kiss in the shadows Of the avenue of life And make love until the night ends In the runaways' paradise, paradise
