lyrics

Memories hang like spiders
Suspended in thin air
Strangers faces fill my nights
The dreams go wild out there

Like a runaway
On a desert island
Like a runaway
On a desert island
I'm a runaway
On a tiny island

Once upon a time I was a stranger
Caught between fiction and truth
And I saw a world that was stranger
Than the real world and twice as uncouth
For a while I hung in the balance
In the half world elusive as truth

Well there's no real world
It's your own world
You are the real world
You are the real world

Once upon a time there was a stranger
And he ruled the land with an iron fist
Like a dark force in some children's story
He'd hold up the world and he'd insist
That the world he made was the real world
And millions followed like flies
For millions his world became their world
It's like when you start believing your own lies

And it's so easy
To deceive
And it's so easy
To believe
But it's alright now
Oh yes, it's alright now

As the sun goes down like the vanquished
In some unholy game
And the moon calls the lovers
And the moon calls my name
And the night brings the comfort
And the night brings the pain
And the stars they warm my body
And the stars they calm my brain
And the river flows right through me
And the river heals the pain
That the darkness marked my heart with
But that won't happen to me again

Like a runaway
Like a runaway
Like a runaway
I won't get lost again
And I'm alright now
Oh yes, I'm okay
Oh yes, I'm okay
Oh yes, I'm okay
Oh yes, I'm okay
And I'm okay
Oh, I'm okay
Yes, I'm okay
Yes, I'm okay
