| [00:05.00] |
Beatrix runs because she knows |
| [00:08.00] |
that her heart beats like a vagabond's |
| [00:011.00] |
Breathing hard and looking back - |
| [00:14.00] |
her past is breathing down her neck. |
| [00:17.00] |
Up the hill, through gate |
| [00:20.00] |
Cross a bridge |
| [00:22.00] |
Oh, it is taking her away. |
| [00:29.00] |
Mom and Dad are fast asleep |
| [00:32.00] |
and the sunrise creeping down the street |
| [00:35.00] |
Wake up soon, but there's no note |
| [00:37.00] |
She is gone, she's taken by the road |
| [00:40.00] |
a little girl in a dress |
| [00:43.00] |
like a ghost, swallowed by the mist. |
| [00:46.00] |
Don't tell me how to live my life |
| [00:49.00] |
or tell me how to be alive |
| [00:52.00] |
Mama dear, Daddy dear |
| [00:55.00] |
You know I'll be alright |
| [00:59.00] |
Of all those lessons you could teach |
| [01:00.00] |
you failed to practice what you preach |
| [01:04.00] |
Mama dear, Daddy dear |
| [01:07.00] |
I don't belong to you |
| [01:09.00] |
I'm headed for the night. |
| [01:13.00] |
Beatrix runs because she feels |
| [01:16.00] |
there's a mire sucking at her heels |
| [01:19.00] |
a prom queen dress, a waiting mould |
| [01:21.00] |
and good girls do what they've been told |
| [01:24.00] |
Up ahead there's a flash - |
| [01:27.00] |
It is dawn - and she is gone. |
| [01:30.00] |
Don't tell me how to live my life |
| [01:33.00] |
or tell me how to be alive |
| [01:36.05] |
Mama dear, Daddy dear |
| [01:39.00] |
You know I'll be alright |
| [01:42.00] |
Of all those lessons you could teach |
| [01:45.00] |
you failed to practice what you preach |
| [01:48.00] |
Mama dear, Daddy dear |
| [01:51.00] |
I'm leaving at first light. |
| [01:54.00] |
And all those plans you made for me |
| [01:56.00] |
the daughter I will never be |
| [02:00.00] |
the soccer shoes and magazines |
| [02:02.00] |
I'm leaving them behind |
| [02:05.00] |
Those pictures hanging on the wall |
| [02:08.00] |
are telling me it's all my fault |
| [02:11.00] |
But I can hear another voice |
| [02:14.00] |
that's calling me away, away |
| [02:17.00] |
Away. |
| [02:52.00] |
Don't tell me how to live my life |
| [02:55.00] |
or tell me how to feel alive |
| [02:58.00] |
Mama dear, Daddy dear |
| [03:01.00] |
you know I'll be alright |
| [03:04.00] |
The road is waiting in the haze |
| [03:06.00] |
the peaks and valleys of my days |
| [03:10.00] |
and all I know is |
| [03:11.00] |
wherever I, where I may go |
| [03:14.00] |
I'll be alright - |
| [03:21.00] |
I'm headed for the night. |
