Smalltown Boy - 1984

You leave in the morning with everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mama will never understand why you had to leave
But the answer you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
You were the one that they'd talk about
Around town as they put you down
And as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cry
But you'd never cry to them, just to your soul
No, you'd never cry to them, just to your soul

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
(Cry into the sky)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
(Cry into the sky)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
(Cry into the sky)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

Cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry
Cry boy, cry boy, cry

You leave in the morning with everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on the platform, the wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
