The Runaway/Experience (2025 Dan Bornemark Mix) (Live)

Lyrics

[The Runaway] [Spoken: Derek Shulman] This album was called, er, In a Glass House [Spoken: John Weathers] (One, two, three, four, five, six) [Verse 1: Derek Shulman] He is the runaway, lie low the wanted man Mask his elusive face, soon he will get away [Chorus: Derek Shulman] And free is his future, no more aimless time to spend And evading, he's escaping four dirty walls and a bed In a cage, his home no more [Post-Chorus: Derek Shulman] Run in the underwood, cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword, guards for the shadow on his tail [Instrumental Break 1:40–2:43] [Break: Derek Shulman & Kerry Minnear & Ray Shulman] And yet, all his joy is empty and sad [Instrumental Break 2:56–3:54] [Experience] [Verse 2: Derek Shulman] Once I was a boy An innocent to life and my role in it This world played my game And anyone a clown or foil for myself [Verse 3: Derek Shulman] Oh, unseeing youth How can it be so shallow and short-sighted These years passed me by To realise the folly of these unripe years [Instrumental Break 4:47–5:32] [Verse 3: Derek Shulman] Oh, unseeing youth How can it be so shallow and short-sighted These years passed me by To realise the folly of these unripe years [Instrumental Break 5:42–7:08] [Chorus: Derek Shulman] I master inner voices, making the choices I master inner voices, making the choices [Instrumental Break 7:26–8:43] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Derek Shulman] I master inner voices, making the choices I master inner voices, making the choices [Spoken: Derek Shulman] Merci bien!
