Little girl, little girl
why are you crying?
Inside your restless soul
your heart is dying.
Little one, little one
your soul is purging
of love and razor blades
your blood is surging

chorus:
Runaway
From the river to the street
and find yourself
with your face in the gutter
you're a stray for the salvation army
there is no place like home
when you got no place to go

Little girl, little girl
your life is calling
the charlat ans and saints
of your abandon
Little one, little one
the sky is falling
your lifeboat of deception
is now sailing
in the wake all the way
no rhyme or reason
your bloodshot eyes
will show your heart of treason
Little girl, little girl
you dirty liar
you're just a junkie
preaching to the choir

chorus:
Runaway
From the river to the street
and find yourself
with your face in the gutter
you're a stray for the salvation army
there is no place like home
when you got no place to go

The traces of blood
always follow you home
like the maskaratears
from your getaway
you're walking with blisters
and running with shears
so unholy
sister of grace

Runaway
From the river to the street
and find yourself
with your face in the gutter
you're a stray for the salvation army
there is no place like home
