Lyrics
Bed time stories
Pull you down into the undertow
Sky is falling
Closed eyes are praying for a summer snow
You can`t ignore the call
A shot of glory right between the eyes
Mama said that Jesus loves you
Papa said there`ll be hell to pay
Better pack your bags and learn to run
Run on, run on, little runaway
Broken china
Lost child yearning for a Mother`s arms
Say your prayers girl
The devil hides inside an angel`s charms
It`s time to risk it all
A shot of glory right between the eyes
Mama said that Jesus loves you
Papa said there`ll be hell to pay
Better pack your bags and learn to run
Run on, run on, little runaway
Baby don`t you know it`s cold outside
And the Boogie Man`ll get ya if you`re thinking
That you got the stuff, think you`re tough
Think you`re tough, but you ain`t tough enough
Promise stolen
You can`t replace what they can take away
Christmas money
You`ve been saving for a rainy day,
Well it`s raining, raining like hell today
You can`t ignore the call
A shot of glory right between the eyes
Mama said that Jesus loves you
Papa said there`ll be hell to pay
Better pack your bags and learn to run
Run on, run on, little runaway
She was just a girl
These things happen almost every day........
