I'm running away with you
that's all i ever do
that's all we ever mean
I forgive you
everything
meet me at the railroad bar
about 7 oclock
we joke while the sun goes down
watch the lovers
leaving town

This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today

I'm running away with you
from yesterday's news
let's leave it all behind
help me back to my mind
I've paid the penalty
your the jailer rattling the key
but the key is mine
I keep a spare one every time

This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today

This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today
This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today

This is for lovers
running away

    General Comment:Pete co-wrote this song with Wolfman.The song is not about drug addiction but rather it was about a time that him and Kate ran away together to get away from all the publicity surroundings petes drug use.

    General Comment:About drug addiction I assume.

    "I've paid the penalty
    your the jailer rattling the key
    but the key is mine
    I keep a spare one every time"

    Nae luck Pete - you could have been the biggest thing in Europe with the libs but not any more.
