City Boy The Runaround Lyrics

The Runaround Lyrics

I had words with Rudy down on the lot 



He couldn't help me out, it
seems he forgot 



What my name was, he was one of my many shoulders




Growing cold 



nothing to cry on or rely on for a
friend 



CHORUS 



They call me the runaroud, happily
holding her hand 



The best kept man in town, lead your lady
around, 



runaround. 



I recall when half the world
held her breath 



The letters of her name hung in mid-air 



But I woke up to a nightmare, and she follows me around, 



running gauntlets, staring haunted at the ground. 



CHORUS
(repeat) 



Hang around in Romanoff's to be seen, 



friends pass by like I've never been. 



I remember party night,
Halloween, 



I was Tambourlaine and she was my queen 



But the champagne and the wine stains and the friends 



who
waived goodby, 



only echo as the wind blows, through the
chandelier. 



CHORUS
