There was a boy who ran away From what he didn't know Who he wouldn't say He just had to go Something had snapped inside of him As he fled from a nameless threat Crowds of people stand aloof in Waterloo There's no sunset Sunset And when he gets to this mythic place The streets are dirty dark and deep There is no rest There is no place to lay a head To sleep To sleep To sleep To sleep There was a boy who ran away From what he didn't know Who he wouldn't say He just had to go Go! Went to so much trouble To banish you from my sight He said that you're an accident An accident about which I should forget Forget Forget Forget And now that the wheel has gone around He's back where he belongs And he knows there is no hope Only Solice! (In the words of this song) Solice! (In the words of this song) Solice! (In the words of this song) Solice! (In the words of this song) Solice! (In the words of this song) Solice! Solice! There was a boy who ran away From what he didn't know Who he wouldn't say He just He had to go
