Look out, this thing is gonna blow I heard it from the people in the know There's trouble in the tenements below There's fire where the flowers used to grow
I'm never goin' back I'm runnin' from the sun Bullets at my heels The devil's got a gun I'm never goin' home I'll be the only one With daylight on my tail And heaven on the run
Rain is jumpin' up into the clouds The girl has ceased to make her father proud Lovers wrapped up in cellophane The bitter fruit has fallen from it's prey
I'm never goin' back I'm runnin' from the sun Bullets at my heels The devil's got a gun I'm never goin' home I'll be the only one With daylight on my tail And heaven on the run
Help me I know not what I see I'm a stranger to the face lookin' back at me When the company of sisters is just like any mystery to me Hold me I know not who I am If I'm a woman, you're a creature not a man The eyes of a lover, they look like any others to me
I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back
It's down to the second hand When tick tock is more than you can stand The grinders and the wheels they never sleep We're fighting to the bottom of the deep
I'm never goin' back I'm runnin' from the sun Bullets at my heels The devil's got a gun I'm never goin' home I'll be the only one With daylight on my tail And heaven on the run
I'm never goin' back I'm runnin' from the sun Bullets at my heels The devil's got a gun I'm never goin' home I'll be the only one With daylight on my tail And heaven on the run Daylight on my tail And heaven on the run I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back I'm never goin' back
