Runaways (2001 Digital Remaster) - XTC

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Ah

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Please come home

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Please come home

Daddy hit you in a temper

But he's sorry now

Please come home

Just a quarrel had with mummy

Just a family row

Please come home

You caught mum chasing dad with a knife

Don't cry don't cry

Don't cry don't cry

You ran away to escape from the fights

Don't cry don't cry

Don't cry don't cry

Now you're lost in a maze of neon light

And she's worried he's worried

She's worried oh

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Please come home

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Please come home

Pacing street lamps on the highway

Haystack for your bed

Please come home

In the morning we will find you in papers to be read

Please come home

You heard screams from the warmth of your bed

Don't cry don't cry

Don't cry don't cry

You slumbered on without being fed

Don't cry don't cry

Don't cry don't cry

Now there's no more tears to be shed

And she's sorry he's sorry

She's sorry oh

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Please come home

Oh run a oh run a

Oh runaways

Please come home

Please come home please come home please come home

Oh run a oh run a oh runaways

Please come home please come home please come home

Oh run a oh run a oh runaways
