City Boy - The Runaround Lyrics
I had words with Rudy down on the lotHe couldn't help me out, it seems he forgotWhat my name was, he was one of my many shouldersGrowing coldnothing to cry on or rely on for a friendCHORUSThey call me the runaroud, happily holding her handThe best kept man in town, lead your lady around,runaround.I recall when half the world held her breathThe letters of her name hung in mid-airBut 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 queenBut the champagne and the wine stains and the friendswho waived goodby,only echo as the wind blows, through the chandelier.CHORUS
