[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.
