Mystery Jets - The Boy Who Ran Away (Riton re-dub) lyrics

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
