lyrics

white cat caught in a curtain
as her gown hangs to the ground
beside the gravel road he's runnin down
cuz he's the one who likes to be
in charge of his own magazine

she done it to him years before
but paid the price and nevermore
until today she caused quite a scene,
she's flipping through those
pages as he screams

I'll run away, until I hit the big screen

black dog in the doorway
of the circus tent she calls her home
away from home but
when she's home
she never ever calls it

while she's there she'll hang her hair
down on her knees she aims to please
sells fantasies to
any man who'll buy it

I'll run away until I hit the big screen

papers print the pictures
of the padlocks on the palace gates
dogs cry as the players wait
to feed the news and sell the waste
to scores of poor sad
sentimental victims

stories stream the skies above
the city sinks through pools of ink
bleed musings of a man who lost his hand
in some mad automobile
wreck that damn near killed him

I'll run away until I hit the big screen

red sun sets her eyes upon
the headlines hailing hangings
held by witches turning tricks
and telling tales and leaking lies
so strange and horrible
you never would believe her

blue haze haunts the hillside houses
wailing ailing apparition's spouse's blouse
is blowing in the breeze you know
i don't believe in ghosts
but if I saw one
I'd probably fall over

I'll run away until I hit the big screen
