Runaway John

Runaway, runaway John

Runaway, runaway John

Evil's coming for you

Runaway, runaway John

And while it eats me

I keep on breathing

And when it leaves me

I still believe

I want to tell her she is kind

(Kindness is only a shelter from under the rain)

I want to tell her of my life

(The time that you borrow is nothing without feeling pain)

I want to tell her she is good

(And when the animals love you they hold you up high)

I want to tell her I'm alright now

Runaway, runaway John

(Runaway, runaway John)

Runaway, runaway John

(Runaway, runaway John)

Runaway, runaway John

(Runaway, runaway John)

Runaway, runaway John

(Runaway)
