Take a breath of quiet air Place down your heavy load Cut the wires around your chest Watch out for the things that never rest Move out once the hotel is empty Get on the first bus and take the far seat When you've arrived you can bury your roots When you're free you can trade in those heavy boots Twist the skull over the eyes Slip away from the cold-hearted mind Fade out of this world that you see Be someone else Live in peace I don't steal Rob Or cheat As long as I have my soul I am happy I don't regret the things that I do or say As long as I remember I must run away Run away Work is slow but the boss don't care I get my food Board and somewhere to drink I wake up early in the morning and I make my bed There's no rats climbing above my head There's a man who owes me nothing God knows my debts There's no trap waiting under my feet There's no deals made with junkie creeps I don't steal Rob Or cheat As long as I have my soul I am happy I don't regret the things that I do or say As long as I remember I must run away Run away
