All my friends are vagrants They wander 'round this dirty old town at night Well the good ones are complacent And the bad ones don't know left from right But I've heard of a place now Where the buildings won't cast shadows over us Full of purple heather And void of all the things that will destroy us And I will run While I'm still young Oh far, so far away from here, from here, from here And I will run downhill like water I will run the hell away from here So what is sleep and what is time 'Cause I don't get much of either, of either But in this land of paradise Oh, I know all my friends, they will be there, they will be there And we'll keep our ears close to the ground And we'll follow where they lead us, where they lead us Leave behind this dirty town Where they say that they don't need us They don't need us here no more And I will run While I'm still young Oh far, so far away from here, from here, from here And I will run downhill like water, water, water I will run the hell away from here Oh, and let us all go someplace Where we that know we are wanted And let me be the ghost by which That bridge Albert was haunted lord And let the waters under her be dark and deep And let us sing Oh, let us sing, oh And I have seen the beacon's light I'll follow where she takes me, where she takes me But I must be gone before daylight Or the vision will escape me, it will escape me Oh 'cause I can only see at night When the others don't know where I have gone When the streetlamps burn so bright I will stand on rooftops and shout that siren's song And I will run While I'm still young Oh far, so far away from here, from here, from here And I will run downhill like water, water, water Oh, I will run the hell away from here Oh, and let us all go someplace Where we that know we are wanted And let me be the ghost by which That bridge Albert was haunted lord And let the waters under her be dark and deep And let us sing Oh, let us sing
