Hello darkness, come on in Let me light a candle Imaginations runnin' Hands start to tremble Knows enough to know not to believe What is real and what it seems to be Knows what's keepin' him from bein' free Right outside your door Don't run away Red headed stepchild I can only promise You won't find your way back home In another room there's laughin' Entertainin' strangers Walls in there, don't breathe no more But they're keepin' out some angels Laughed so much, he almost cried Stranger offers him a ride City blocks roll on by Never comin' back Don't run away Red headed stepchild I can only promise You won't find your way back home Take your pictures off my wall I hate to look at strangers Then it's burnin' be forewarned Keep me out of danger Knows enough to know not to believe What is real and what it seems to be Knows what's keepin' him from bein' free Right outside your door Don't run away Red headed stepchild I can only promise You won't find your way back home Don't run away Red headed stepchild I can only promise You won't find your way back home Find your way back home
