She came a real long way working towards paradise

Working that nine to five, but never working on her mind

She's had it about up to here, yeah

Her problems never disappear, yeah

Her dreams of an escape are left to sacrifice

And now she's running, running away

Far from all her troubles of society

Oh yeah she's leaving, leaving behind her past

Packing up all her things and she's never coming back

Now she's running, running away

Far from all her troubles of society

Now she's leaving, leaving behind her past

Packing up all her things and she's never coming back, yeah

Traveling down the same old road, yeah

She wishes for a way to let go

But her problems keep on stacking one by one

She often thinks about her home

And every now and then regrets leaving life on her own

So she keeps on striving forward working towards paradise

She says she cannot wait to get the hell up out of here

So every night she's getting higher than the stratosphere

Singing songs and playing music 'til she disappears

She knows that dancing to the rhythm will rid of her fears

She's in pursuit to finally make it to the weekend

She's got a ticket to the show where she can pretend

That all the worries in her world will finally ascend

But when the music finally stops the night is at end

Now she's running, running away

Seeking for some change in her reality

Now she's leaving, leaving behind her past

Packing up all her things and she ain't ever coming back

Now she's running, running away

Far from all her troubles of society

Oh yeah she's leaving, leaving behind her past

Packing up all her things and she's never coming back

Woah, woah yeah

Packing up all her things and she ain't ever coming back

Woah yeah, she's never coming back

Packing up all her things and she ain't ever coming back
