Things That Happened Then Lyrics by The Orgone Box

Things That Happened Then

2002

[Verse 1]
The light was on, the door was closed
And outside our old stereo made so much noise
You still could hear the man who was a boy
Cursing, she was crying
We walked in, fists were flying
[Refrain]
Run away, forever
Run away, forever
[Verse 2]
Behind the velvet curtain
Nobody saw what happened there
And through the years
We had to close our eyes, cover our ears
He told us she made us turn against him
Made him furious
[Refrain]
Run away, forever
Run away, forever
[Chorus]
I'm so much older now
But too cold to pretend
I must have changed
Oh, how little children always make amends
For things that happened then
[Verse 3]
A memory, can it hurt me?
We just don't talk about it
My brother, my sister, we still remember
How her eyes were changed and red
The helpless way her hands covered her head
[Refrain]
Run away, forever (Run for it)
Run away, forever
[Chorus]
I'm so much older now
But too cold to make friends
I must have changed
Oh, how little children always make amends
For things that happened then
For things that happened then
[Refrain]
Run for it
Run away, forever (Run for it)
Run away, forever (Oh mama, just get outta there)
Run away, forever (Oh, just go anywhere)
Run away, forever (Live for the moment)
Run away, forever
[Outro]
Do you remember (Things that happened then)
Like I remember (The things that happened then)
The things that happened then?
The things that happened then (I remember)
The things that happened then
The things that happened then
