Runaway Lyrics by David Schaak

2020

See the girl
She looks so peaceful spinning in the stars
Her spotlight leads the way and lights the dark
It’s been five years since she’s changed her repertoire
Big top star
Once a day
And twice for every weekend matinee
She wears her smile, high above the stage
Back in her trailer trunk, she packs it all away
Returns to grey
How to escape a life of song and dance
Where a thousand eyеs don’t give a second glance
Exchangе her sequin for their normal day
From a circus, can you run away?
There’s a place
Where they can see the lines of distance in her face
And she rides the wave but waits to be replaced
One final curtain call then leaves without a trace
Her coup-de-grace
How to escape a life of song and dance
Where a thousand eyes don’t give a second glance
Exchange her sequin for their normal day
From a circus, can you run away?
Where she stands
A past behind no longer in demand
Now she sees everybody’s drowning here first-hand
Because their normal day will never go to plan
Just quicksand
Tried to escape her life of song and dance
Where a thousand eyes don’t give a second glance
Discovered sequin is their normal day
It’s a circus and you can’t run away
It’s a circus and you can’t run away
It’s a circus and you can’t run away
