Look out, this thing is gonna blow;
I heard it from the people in the know.
There's trouble in the tenements below;
There's fire where the flowers used to grow.
I'm never going back,
I'm running from the sun.
Bullets at my heels,
The devil's got a gun.
I'm never going home;
I'll be the only one.
With daylight on my tail;
And heaven on the run.
Rain is jumping up into the clouds.
A girl has ceased to make her father proud.
Lovers wrapped up in cellophane;
The bitter fruit has fallen from its prey.
I'm never going back,
I'm running from the sun.
Bullets at my heels,
The devil's got a gun.
I'm never going home;
I'll be the only one.
With daylight on my tail;
And heaven on the run.
Help me I know not what I see;
I'm a stranger to the face looking back at me.
When the company of sisters is just like any mystery to me.
Hold me I know not who I am;
If I'm a woman, you're a creature not a man,
The eyes of a lover, they look like any other to me.
It's down to the second hand;
The tick tock is more than you can stand.
The grinders and the wheels they never sleep;
We're fighting to the bottom of the deep.
I'm never going back,
I'm running from the sun.
Bullets at my heels,
The devil's got a gun.
I'm never going home;
I'll be the only one.
With daylight on my tail;
And heaven on the run.
Daylight on my tail;
And heaven on the run.
