[Refrain]

I should just run

I should just run

I should just run

I should just run

[Verse 1]

"Man it's so dirty," cries a small young boy

He keeps in shadows as he plays with his toy

A sudden movement and he looks up at me

I don't remember much of platform three

Eternal breezes make me feel so cold

The station's closing or that's what I'm told

A wailing siren and I make for the door

I don't remember much of platform four

[Refrain]

I should just run

I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)

I should just run

I should just run

[Verse 2]

And there he's crying and he doesn't know why

He lifts his head and makes to look for the sky

A neon sign tells me I'm still alive

I don't remember much of platform five

Know where I'm going, I don't have to decide

The driver's there to take me for a ride

He has his magazines to get his kicks

He hasn't told me on platform six

[Refrain]

I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)

I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)

I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)
