[Devlin Verse 1]
2
A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise
3
I woke and rolled over and told my girl we're leaving
4
It's time to sacrifice a lot
5
Cause you ain't happy with your job
6
And round here it's like nothin' seems appealing
7
So let me know you feel the same
8
Throw your life into a case and walk the path from Victoria this evening
9
And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
10
Searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden
11
I'm wondering if I runaway and came back another day,
12
Then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away
13
And would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe
14
I pray the latter's right for everybody's mumsy's sake.
15
And if I dissappear for years and reappear
16
Would my natural intuition still be crystal clear?
17
Or would I have lost clarity?
18
In this trivial pursuit we're walking through so casually
19
[Yasmin - Chorus]
20
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
21
There's nothing here for me no more
22
I gotta be free, I gotta be
23
Somewhere that I can just be me.
24
And I run run runaway, run run runaway,
25
Run run runaway, I runaway.
26
[Devlin Verse 2]
27
We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station
28
Purchase two tickets to an alien destination
29
Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races
30
But not me and my girl we're breaking free
31
Like an escapist, cuz we need to escape this
32
And I for one have got my mind made up,
33
Even if where we stay is make-shift
34
I can't remain in this domain of semi ape sh-t, because all I see is hatred
35
I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me
36
Or would they all forget like I erased my name from history?
37
I'm still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery
38
And vanish off the planet like a mystery.
39
And if I did return would things be the same or worse?
40
You see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I'd be straight back on my travels
41
Burning rubber over gravel 'til we see the English Channel
42
[Chorus:]
43
[Devlin Verse 3]
44
As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she's okay
45
'Coz if we never broke the barricades today we'd always be afraid
46
And left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze
47
But now I've come of age, and as the train starts enterin' suburbia a smile comes across my face
48
The unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates behind prison gates
49
If I could runaway and come back another day,
50
I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day.
51
Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze.
52
If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place
53
I'd leave it long enough so they don't recognise my face
54
I'd let the song play, on the summer's longest day
55
While I roll upon the roads along the motorway
56
[Chorus:]
57
[End]
