Lyrics

We all hang around till we disappear because we're all hanging on to the common fear
cause we know just what it's like to be young
Summer comes quick till a good cold front is gonna freeze my tracks so I'm on the run
cause I know what it's like to be young

Cause when the world comes down to atom bombs and we're all spinning circles, singing songs, we'll feel a lot better if we're not alone. ya know ya know ya know...

Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away, Run away

I saw a shooting star in the atmosphere, I saw a vision of my life and now it's coming clear cause I know just what it's like to be young
I saw a fisherman as I passed the moon, I asked him for a light, he said "It's coming soon", cause he knows just what it's like to be young

He said: when the world comes down to atom bombs and you're all spinning circles, singing songs, you'll feel a lot better if you're not alone. ya know ya know ya know...

Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away, Run away (x2)

Cause when the world comes down to atom bombs and we're all spinning circles, singing songs, we'll feel a lot better if we're not alone. ya know ya know ya know, ya know ya know ya know

...
Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away, Run away (x2)
(when the world comes down to atom bombs and we're all spinning circles singing songs, we'll feel a lot better if we're not alone, ya know ya know ya know)Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away -ay ay ay ay ay ay, Run away
