[Verse 1] I'm aware of the danger I think it's ok I was never that young I was born old and grey Alone and in shambles It's alright, it's ok The storm cloud has broken The haze burned away I was 23 miles from the Chesapeake bay I'd worn through my shoes Always walking away Seems like all of my troubles roll and tumble this way The bottle has broken, the ghost has escaped [Chorus] Oh no, I can't walk around with my feet off the ground And when they hit, although we are strangers Run away, run away, run away I have [Verse 2] I didn't talk much to strangers I'd bled my friends dry
Hard, hard living yet I was hardly alive But I kept on rolling and now I know why The storm clouds have broken a hole in the sky [Bridge] Well get away from the shelter Get away from the storm Get away from the mountains Get away from the shore Get away from the hang-ups, they destroy the mind Get away from the darkness Get away from the light [Chorus] Oh no, I can't walk around with my feet off the ground And when they hit, although we are strangers Run away, run away, run away I have [Outro] Well get away, get away, get away Get away, get away, get away
