liquorice

run me off the street
run me off the street
run me off the street

on a gold dusted floor
beneath a rain coated sky
and teardrops within
i kiss this day goodbye

an orchid's fading smile
won't make it all worthwhile
they're turning me down
run me out of this town

give all my love to her
but pray she don't come near me
and i won't cry cause
there'll be no one there to hear me

those who cry get whacked
those who cry get smacked
turning to blue and fading to grey
i can hear myself say

run me off the street
run me off the street
run me off the street

and all my joy is empty and sad.
