Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent(Everyone needs a place to run away, run away)Summer night, moonlit skyTearing pages from a magazine, she cries »I donââ¬â¢t wanna be the lonely one tonight. »She said, « I came to this place, full of dreamsYoung and innocent and only 16Now I wonder why they call it Tparadise.ââ¬â¢ »So she runs, and she hides, and she dries the tears fromher eyesAnd the night goes on, and on, and onSheââ¬â¢s in the twilight zone (twilight zone)Yeah, you gotta run, run, run awayItââ¬â¢s such a long way homeWhen it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run awayPerfect day, feels like SpringCan see forever but you canââ¬â¢t see anythingNow I wonder why they call it « paradise »Itââ¬â¢s a crime, itââ¬â¢s a shameAnd they wonââ¬â¢t remember your nameAnd your life goes on, and on, and onItââ¬â¢s like the twilight zone (twilight zone)Yeah, you gotta run, run, run awayBut she wonââ¬â¢t go homeSo sheââ¬â¢s gotta run, run, run awayShe came from a small townSo tired of getting pushed aroundIn the dark of the night, no one aroundSheââ¬â¢ll run from this shabby town, yeah, yeah, yeah[guitar solo]Itââ¬â¢s a laugh, itââ¬â¢s a gameDonââ¬â¢t you let it drive you insaneTCause your life goes on, and on, and on….Itââ¬â¢s like the twilight zone (twilight zone)Yeah, you gotta run, run, run awayBut she wonââ¬â¢t go homeWhen it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run awaySheââ¬â¢s in the twilight zone (twilight zone)Yeah, you gotta run, run, run awayItââ¬â¢s such a long way homeWhen it hurts so bad you gotta run, run, run away[chorus fades]
