Running From the City Lyrics

Called out my name
Like a moth to a flame,
Drawn to the lights
Of the city

When I got there
I gazed in despair,
All of the streets
Were so gritty

You said you consider me your friend.
Where were you when I was at wits? end?

Running from the city,
All the girls so pretty,
Tell me where I am.
Running from the city,
All the streets so gritty,
Don't know where I am.

Did as I pleased
Now I'm down on my knees.
Betrayed by the streets in the city.
Wound up in jail,
No one to post bail.
All my dreams fail,
What a pity!

You said you?d be with me to the end,
But where were you when I needed a friend?

Running from the city,
All the streets so gritty,
Tell me where I am
Running from the city, isn't it a pity
Don't know where I am.

Running from the city

You know I'm running from the city.
Running from the city.
Won't tell you where I am.

You said you consider me your friend.
Where were you when I was in the pen?
