I met you down on the corner
Down this old town
You were a brown-eyed girl
Lookin' for cheap romance
Looking for a lonely heart
Or just a brand new start
You were living all your days
Just like a runaway, runaway angel
The days went on so endlessly
Alone with your shadow
Just like another hungry soul
Running out of control
Always sitting on the corner
You got no place to hide
Running away from the streetlights
Just like a runaway, runaway angel
Maybe someday it happens
That angels lose their wings
Runaways stop running
And meet out in the darkness
Embrace and kiss in the shadows
Of the avenue of life
And make love until the night ends
In the runaways' paradise, paradise
