The Boy Who Ran Away - Mystery Jets

There was a boy who ran away

from what he didn’t know

And whom he wouldn’t say he just had to go Something it snapped inside of him as he fled from a nameless threat

Crowds of people stand aloof in Waterloo there’s no sunset

And when he gets to that mythic place the streets are

dirty dark and deep

There is no rest there is no place to lay a head to sleep

There was a boy who ran away from what he didn’t know

And whom he wouldn’t say he just had to go

I went to so much trouble to banish you from my side

He said that your an accident

an accident about which I should forget

And now that the wheel has gone around he’s back where he belongs

And he knows there is no hope only solace in the words of this song

There was a boy who ran away from what he didn’t know

And whom he wouldn’t say he just had to go
