She came a real long way working towards paradise Working that nine to five, but never working on her mind She's had it about up to here, yeah Her problems never disappear, yeah Her dreams of an escape are left to sacrifice And now she's running, running away Far from all her troubles of society Oh yeah she's leaving, leaving behind her past Packing up all her things and she's never coming back Now she's running, running away Far from all her troubles of society Now she's leaving, leaving behind her past Packing up all her things and she's never coming back, yeah Traveling down the same old road, yeah She wishes for a way to let go But her problems keep on stacking one by one She often thinks about her home And every now and then regrets leaving life on her own So she keeps on striving forward working towards paradise She says she cannot wait to get the hell up out of here So every night she's getting higher than the stratosphere Singing songs and playing music 'til she disappears She knows that dancing to the rhythm will rid of her fears She's in pursuit to finally make it to the weekend She's got a ticket to the show where she can pretend That all the worries in her world will finally ascend But when the music finally stops the night is at end Now she's running, running away Seeking for some change in her reality Now she's leaving, leaving behind her past Packing up all her things and she ain't ever coming back Now she's running, running away Far from all her troubles of society Oh yeah she's leaving, leaving behind her past Packing up all her things and she's never coming back Woah, woah yeah Packing up all her things and she ain't ever coming back Woah yeah, she's never coming back Packing up all her things and she ain't ever coming back
