Runaways
The Karma Killers

[Usher]

Outside there's a runaway,

The lights go down, the world goes rushing in.

Neon light takes the light of day,

Stars like dust start falling.

Inside there's a loneliness,

The demon tries to charm you with his smile.

No time to dream or rest,

In the caves of steel, faces are changing

[Far East Movement]

On the street the traffic dies,

The break of day, it always comes too soon.

Running out of reasons why

All your life you blamed it on the moon.

Look out for the danger signs,

You're stealing time but you know you'll never win.

Another border line

Nightmares chase the dreams away,

The cold night reflects the way you feel.

It's just another town,

It's just one more night to kill

It's time to rethink every fact that is imaginable

Survival instinct dwells in a past that is inhabitable

I happen to pull fast ones over the slow parole board

Who likes to speak to de-fanged wolves who cry sheep

Time seeps into our skin, age indicates how long we've been lost in space

I keep putting expression-less upon my face

[Usher]

Outside there's a runaway,

The lights go down, the world goes rushing in.

Neon light takes the light of day,

Stars like dust start falling.

Inside there's a loneliness,

The demon tries to charm you with his smile.

No time to dream or rest,

In the caves of steel, faces are changing

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

No spring chicken, summer romance novel writer could win a prize

It's Nobel, go to hell in a riding vehicle that he winterized

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

[The Karma Killers]

The land of the lost souls

Feeling the loneliness that really only exists in abandoned foster homes

How many images of missing kids can be fit onto a milk carton?

Framed, they're starting to look the same

Starting to say his name, and claim privileges

As if they found HIM!

The strangest little kids surrounding the circle of false friendship

Rings of fire are connected at the elbow

Cause they're tired, moms unexpectedly let go

The Velcro light component that keeps there unit cohesive

It's the music! So we give reasons to get sober

Life experiences to hum to

These kids play Red Rover? I look for weaknesses to run through

With reckless abandon, they're standin', refuse to go down

The pinballs in their machine bounce between abusive homes now

If its fight or flight, they'll just choose to throw down

Ain't nothing like beating a dead horse, riding it through a ghost town

I move with no sound... I used to think I was invisible

[Usher]

Outside there's a runaway,

Neon light takes the light of day,

Stars like dust start falling.

Inside there's a loneliness,

The demon tries to charm you with his smile.

No time to dream or rest,

In the caves of steel, faces are changing

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

No spring chicken, summer romance novel writer could win a prize

It's Nobel, go to hell in a riding vehicle that he winterized

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

[Far East Movement]

Til they stopped me mid-stride and said

I think I seen a picture of you...

Picture that, I said Nah I just got one of them faces

Placed next to an expiration date that changes.

I kind of look familiar, my name is on the tip of your tongue

The lost look on my face makes you play dumb.

Say something colloquial

I need to get my bearings and a feel for where I'm at

but you ain't hearin' that.

They shout freeze! I'm a tourist trapped by townies

Who put bounties on armies and all surrounding counties

Before I bounce, I hear them shout

Someone help us out, PLEASE!

We're all alone in the foster home

Killin' ourselves with the house keys...

[Usher]

Outside

Outsiiiide

Outside there's a runaway

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

No spring chicken, summer romance novel writer could win a prize

It's Nobel, go to hell in a riding vehicle that he winterized

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways

No spring chicken, summer romance novel writer could win a prize

It's Nobel, go to hell in a riding vehicle that he winterized

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, runaways
