runaway return

out of the ashtray

into the ashtray. out of the ashtray. there's nothing living

there's nothing given

weekender's vision turns to working shoes. there's nothing living

there's nothing given

weekender gives in

puts on his working suit. there's nothing waiting

there's nothing imminent

nothing forgiven for the young idea. there's nothing waiting

there's nothing imminent

and nobody seems surprised

the runaway returns. welcome home son

guess what we we're doing while you were gone?

cocktail party's in gear and we were so glad that you're here

why don't you sit down?

out of the ashtray

into the ashtray

out of the ashtray

into the family car

out of the ashtray

into the ashtray

out of the ashtray

into the family's arms. there's nothing waiting

there's nothing imminent

nothing forgiven for the young idea. there's nothing waiting

there's nothing imminent

and nobody seems surprised

the runaway returns. welcome back.
