There was a job, one with flexible working hours In a hip agency that knows how to market itself very well Every week an after-work party with the boss Such a start-up entrepreneur who wears Ramones shirts I was just writing the application e-mail with my lifestyle And stuck a nice and serious photo on it When Lou Reed appeared to me and said run away It's harder than getting in to get out again Run away, run away, run away Run away as fast as you can before they get you Run away, run away as fast as you can And start somewhere again from the beginning Lou said run away and start from the beginning If I hadn't done that, I would have lost for sure Did you make your daily life or did I make your daily life? That night I packed my bag In Bordeaux there was a guest bed with coffee stain I hid there for about half a year I didn't know what I wanted, but the boys in the city Taught me how to open old cars Run away, run away, run away Run away as fast as you can before they get you Run away, run away as fast as you can And start somewhere again from the beginning End of June, a Lou Reed concert at Place de Cancons We had no money for tickets, but the fence wasn't high Of course we were caught and beaten by the cops The pepper spray burned in the eyes for days I was the only one who got away and danced alone Drunk as Lou, a bottle of wine in my hand Then someone asked why I had to cry I said because of the pepper spray, he gave me a kiss Run away, run away, run away Run away as fast as you can before they get you Run away, run away as fast as you can And start somewhere again from the beginning *
