Beatrix runs because she knows that her heart beats like a vagabond's [00:011.00]Breathing hard and looking back - her past is breathing down her neck. Up the hill, through gate Cross a bridge Oh, it is taking her away. Mom and Dad are fast asleep and the sunrise creeping down the street Wake up soon, but there's no note She is gone, she's taken by the road a little girl in a dress like a ghost, swallowed by the mist. Don't tell me how to live my life or tell me how to be alive Mama dear, Daddy dear You know I'll be alright Of all those lessons you could teach you failed to practice what you preach Mama dear, Daddy dear I don't belong to you I'm headed for the night. Beatrix runs because she feels there's a mire sucking at her heels a prom queen dress, a waiting mould and good girls do what they've been told Up ahead there's a flash - It is dawn - and she is gone. Don't tell me how to live my life or tell me how to be alive Mama dear, Daddy dear You know I'll be alright Of all those lessons you could teach you failed to practice what you preach Mama dear, Daddy dear I'm leaving at first light. And all those plans you made for me the daughter I will never be the soccer shoes and magazines I'm leaving them behind Those pictures hanging on the wall are telling me it's all my fault But I can hear another voice that's calling me away, away Away. Don't tell me how to live my life or tell me how to feel alive Mama dear, Daddy dear you know I'll be alright The road is waiting in the haze the peaks and valleys of my days and all I know is wherever I, where I may go I'll be alright - I'm headed for the night.
