Runaway Lyrics - Singles - Marillion

Did you cry when they dragged you home 

Put a lock on the door and the telephone 

Was a runaway girl all they could see 

Have the nights and the days that you've come through 

Made the right seem wrong and the false seem true 

Was a runaway girl all they could see 

A teenage extra from the satellite TV 

Runaway girl 

Too bad, too bad 

Runaway girl 

Too wild, too wild 

Were they deaf to the prayer behind your lies 

Maybe they didn't dare to ask you why 

Was a runaway girl all they chose to see 

All they were prepared to admit to 

Runaway girl 

Too bad, too bad 

Runaway girl 

A real wild child 

So you cower in the towns forgotten places 

And you make your bed with unfamiliar faces 

And at last you've got your freedom but that's all you've got 

You're tryin' to make your mind up if you're better off 

You pretend to wait for washing in some laundromat 

But you're damned if you'll give them the satisfaction of you going back 

You'd freeze to death before you'd share a roof with them 

And you'd starve before you'd let him get his hands on you again 

Did you cry when they dragged you home 

Did you cry when they dragged you home 

Poor little runaway, poor little runaway
