Runaway Boys Lyrics - Rumble In Brixton - Stray Cats

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn 

Mom and dad cursed the day you were born 

Throw your clothes into a duffel bag 

Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag 

Who can I turn to and where can I stay ? 

I heard a place is open all night and all day 

There's a place you can go where the cops don't know 

You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child 

Runaway boys 

Your hair is all greasy and you feel like a slob 

You're only fifteen and you can't get a job 

Run into the luncheonette and shoot a few games 

Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same 

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy 

Slip into the alley with the runaway boys 

Runaway boys 

Runnin' faster, faster all the time 

You're under age and God knows that's a crime 

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn 

Mom and dad cursed the day you were born 

Throw your clothes into a duffel bag 

Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag 

Who can I turn to and where can I stay ? 

I heard a place is open all night and all day 

There's a place you can go where the cops don't know 

You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child 

Runaway boys 

Runnin' faster, faster all the time 

You're under age and God knows that's a crime 

Runaway boys, runaway boys 

Runaway boys, runaway boys 

Runaway boys
