1. Running Free
2. Remember Tomorrow
3. Killers
4. Innocent Exile
1. Running Free
Just sixteen, a pick-up truck, out of money, out of luck
I've got noplace to call my own, hit the gas and here I go
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
Spent the night in an L.A. jail and listened to the sirens wail
They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free, yeah!
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
-- Get out my way!
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
Pulled her at the Bottle Top - whiskey, dancing, disco hop
Now all the boys are after me and that's the way it's gonna be
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free...
2. Remember Tomorrow
Unchain the colours before my eyes
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the...
Tears for rememberance and tears for joy
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy
Out in the madness the all seeing eye
Flickers above us to light up the... sky!
Unchain the colours before my eyes
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the... fire!
3. Killers
Oh, yeah! Yeah! Oh, yeah! Yeah!
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
You walk through the subway; his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you; he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy - he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you; his blood lust defies all his needs...
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one; I'm bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me...
-- A-ha-ha-ha!
I can see what a knife's meant to be
And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike
The death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow - remember to walk in the light!
I have found you and now there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, oh God, help me - what have I done?!
Oh yeah, I've done it! Yeah!!!
You walk through the subway; my eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you; he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy - he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you; my blood lust defies all my needs
Oh, look out, I'm coming for you! A-ha-ha-ha!
4. Innocent Exile
My life is so empty - nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion, 'cose I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble before this all began
My life is so empty - nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion, 'cose I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble before this all began
I'm running away - nowhere to go
I'm lost and tired and I just don't know, yeah
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true
They're just trying to frame me and all because of you, yeah
Law, I'm cryin'!!!
