Outside there's a runaway the lights go down and the world goes rushing in
Neon light takes the place of day, stars like dust are falling
Inside there's a loneliness, the demon tries to charm you with his smile
No time to dream or rest, in the caves of steel, faces are changing
They're the runaways, children of the damned, they're the runaways
Running for their life, faster than they can, they're the runaways
On the street the traffic dies, the break of day it always comes too soon
Running out of reasons why, all your life you blamed it on the moon
Look out for the danger signs, you're stealing time but you know
you'll never win
Another border line in the caves of steel, faces are changing
They're the runaways, children of the night, they're the runaways
Running for your life, faster than you can, they're the runaways
The nightmares chase the dreams away, the cold night reflects the
way you feel
It's just another town, it's just one more night to kill
All the streets are empty now, like the wolf you'll walk this night
alone
And in some other world in the caves of steel, faces are changing
They're the runaways, children of the night, they're the runaways
Running for you rlife, they're the runaways, children of the damned
They're the runaways
