Låttexter: Mystery Jets. The Boy Who Ran Away.

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 is snapped inside of him
As he fled from a nameless threat
Crowds of people stand aloof in Waterloo
There's no sunset, sunset

And when he gets to this mythic place
The streets are dirty, dark and deep
There is no rest, there is no place
To lay a head to sleep, to sleep, to sleep, 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 you?re an accident
An accident about which I should forget, 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

Solace in the words of this song
Solace in the words of this song
Solace in the words of this song
Solace in the words of this song
Solace, solace in the words

There was a boy who ran away
From what he didn't know
And whom he wouldn't say
He just, he had to go
