Runaway

I'm not the murdering kind
Ooo runaway, ooo runaway, runaway now
But killing you is on my mind
Ooo runaway, ooo runaway, runaway now
I'd o' made a very fine wife
I'd o' kept every vow
I'm good and ready to bury this knife
Ooh run, ooh run, runaway now

The cops, they come, they took away my boy
Ooo runaway, ooo runaway, runaway now
You paid for nothing, not one stinking toy
Ooo runaway, ooo runaway, runaway now
You've got your house on the hill
You've got all fake and highbrow
I've got an aching to kill
Ooh run, ooh run, runaway now

I'm poor, I'm pissed and I'm coming undone
Ooo runaway, ooo runaway, runaway now
Some born again Christian is raising my son
Ooo runaway, ooo runaway, runaway now
You've got your name to abide
You've got your lordy-lord crowd
I've got no shame and no pride
Ooh run, ooh run, runaway now
Ooh run, ooh run, runaway now
