lyrics

Young and free and dangerous, chained to a job that everybody knows
Don a jacket, leather boots, a purse all filled with sandwiches and oreos
There's nothing better, darling, than a walk out in the spring
To smell the dewdrop carousels and feel the sunlight's sting
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away

Just tell the boss I'm sick today, tell him I'm not feeling very well
They don't need me there anyway, just lie, I'm sure you will not go to hell
I'm sure you won't have trouble, the way you lie to me
I'm goin' to the forest with my huckleberry tea
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away

And she takes the bus far out of town and shouts out 'this is it'
She examines what's before her like a pair of shoes to see if they will fit
Trees as tall as the factory and scarier at that
Feet are curved for bumpy ground, not sidewalks that are flat
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away

And with her brain all purring softly like a brand new Mercury
She spies a perfect walking stick and steals it from its leaning place leisurely
Rough and solid, something I can count on in despair
God's as good as symbols to a mind beyond repair
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away

The fluttering of sparrows and the chirping, cackling answer of the thrush
The crackle, rustle, crackle, rustle drones into the realm of nature's hush
The forest's awful noisy, like a town un-amplified
The town all where the old Ruth Anne has been a-left to die
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away

Keep your mind fast to the stick, don't dance with other thoughts inside your head
Or pass between the pathless, barren darkness where the black is almost red
The stick is floating, I will follow to that place of rest
I will lay right where it touches down and hold it to my breast
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away
Run away, oh, run away all where the angels run away
