Run Away Screaming

Post by HeuristicsInc »

Dollar Bill & the Inkpoints

j$ - vocals, lyrics, end synth
HInc - drums, bass, synth, "run away!"

I find it very distressing
Not to mention quite depressing
That whenever I’m undressing, you
Run screaming from the room

Your physical retraction
In the face of love action’s
Something of an over-reaction,
Just Like you’ve met your doom

Run away, run away screaming

Not looking to prude-shame you -
I can’t say that I blame you
But I am so offended you
don't like what you can see

Stood there in my tightie whities
Wonder what’s made you frightened
Is it the large Spongebob tattoo
On my chest disturbing you?

Run away, run away screaming

Run away screaming

By the Mellfire Trifecta

Pick a fight with a blind man
The world’s gonna see
Exactly who you are
You can’t climb down that tree

Without the setting sun
You’d never let go
No break to cool your rages
Nothing to cushion the blow

And when you finally close your eyes
You always start dreaming
About how failure’s no surprise
Better run away screaming

Your past don’t catch up with you
It never leaves your side
Knows just when to stick in the pins
But always leaves you alive

The best is yet to come
How can you not see?
It’s time to count your blessings
Oh, maybe your blessings-to-be

And when you finally close your eyes
And start dreaming
About how failure’s no surprise
Better run away screaming

And it’s not just a phase
It’s not just a feeling
It’s impossibly hard
Peeling you off the ceiling
You’ve got us all scared
You send us all reeling
But at the end of this story
There’s nothing revealing

I've said it before and I'll say it again
I'll open the door and away I'll descend
Got me a new pair of comfortable shoes
Got me a case of them ol' walkin' blues
Said it before, I'll say it again
Maybe this time I'll make good on my end

I'll run away
Screaming as I may
Dreaming of the day
Everything's okay

They say
The road to hell is paved
So that'll be the way I run

Imagine if you can
The world is going to hell
And there's not a thing
We can do about it

No use to complain
Who you gonna tell?
We're in the same boat
And it's getting crowded

Run away screaming
Run away screaming

They tell us what is right
They tell us what we need
They tell us that they care
And we dare not doubt it

They'll load us in the train
If we disagree
We all say the words
We can't leave without it

Run away screaming
Run away screaming

There's nothing to fear
You will be okay
You can trust in us
There's no doubt about it

You can follow us
No need to be afraid
Repeat after me
Go ahead and shout it

Run away screaming
Run away screaming
Run away screaming
Run away screaming

Run Away Screaming
by Brown Word and the Big Whine

Shiny white lies
Behind his snakeeyes
A paragon of a paradigm
In which he can't lose
Money tied up in nickels and dimes
He's a kill-the-poor psychopath
Run away screaming

Pretty pink cheeks
50, still sleek
from the floorboards
to the window to the wall
charge it all love-o-tron
romance as a service
down to run all functions
Run away screaming
Run away screaming

Talk trash?
Rude to the help?
Thinks nothing to kick a dog?
Broken hearts like discarded petals behind?

Use dope?
Lewd and crude?
Thinks nothing to lie to a friend?
Wears your teeth right down to the nerves?

Run away screaming
Run away screaming
Run away screaming

Choice is your prison
Trapped by your decision
Joined at the hip
With a man who won't tip
"Hell is other people's children"

Know what to look for
Beware Lothario
Whose heart is 3 sizes too large
Know when to hold em
Know when to fold em
Know when to walk away and know when to
Run away screaming
Run away screaming
Run away screaming
