Yasmin - Runaway lyrics

[Devlin Verse 1] Listen, yeah A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise I woke up, rolled over and told my girl we're leaving It's time to sacrifice a lot Cause you ain't happy with your job And round here it's like nothin' seems appealing So let me know you feel the same Throw your life into a case and we'll depart from Victoria this evening And then embark upon a path of rediscovery Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake And if I dissappear for years and reappear Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear? Or would I have lost clarity? In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually [Yasmin - Hook] I gotta leave, I gotta go There's nothing here for me no more I gotta be free, I gotta be Somewhere that I can just be me And I run run runaway, run run runaway Run run runaway, I runaway [Devlin Verse 2] We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station Purchase two tickets to an alien destination Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races But not me and my girl we're breaking free Like an escapist, cause we need to escape this And I for one have got my mind made up Even if where we stay is make-shift I can't remain in this domain of semi-ape sh**, because all I see is hatred I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history? I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery And vanish off the planet like a mystery And if I did return and things were the same or worse? You'd see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel [Hook] [Devlin Verse 3] As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay ‘Cause if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze But now I've come of age, and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across my face The unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates behind prison gates If I could runaway and come back another day I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day While I roll upon the roads along the motorway [Hook]
