RUN AWAY

If you want to win my heart, if you want me to believe
A god that dances freely, that’s the only god for me
What we will never know, the things we cannot see
All that’s lost will live again if you dance with me

May your troubles be small ones
If not, when the time comes
Just throw back a cold one and run

Peek-a-boo, do I see you?
Hide-and-seek, do I know you?
Run away, my little child
Run! Don’t be me!

Shake it, baby, shake it till the moon becomes the sun
Fake it till you make it, baby, let me be the one
Get close, get lost, get up, get down, getting there is half the fun
Life, when all is said and done, makes a fool of everyone

If you can’t believe in it
Why would you stay in it?
Pack up your bags and just run

Peek-a-boo, do I see you?
Hide-and-seek, do I know you?
Run away, my little child
Run! Don’t be me!

Blessed are the children, dancing long before they know
Blessed the departed, all dressed up, no place to go
Blessed are the innocent and blessed be the meek
Blessed each and every soul in this game of hide-and-seek

Some learn to suck it up
Some learn to cover up
Those who do neither can run

Peek-a-boo, do I see you?
Hide-and-seek, do I know you?
Run away, my little child
Run! Don’t be me!

Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away
Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away
Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away
Run away, run away, run away, run away, run away

If you run away, don’t come back this way
If you run away, you can never stay
If you run away, don’t come back this way
If you run away, you can never stay

If you run away, if you run away
If you run away, if you run away
If you run away, if you run away
If you run away, if you run away
