Look Away

Now he was blond and she was dark They called him thunder 'cause he had the spark The dream he dreamed was straight and pure But the confusion of life was gonna get him for sure Look away look away They shared their clothes and their cowboy boots Left them all over the floor while they dyed their roots They live the dream and they went non-stop They did' ok 'til the band broke up Look away look away look away look away Unfortunately the needle broke Their rock and roll love like a bicycle spoke I found her in a back street with her looks half gone She was selling something that I was on Look away look away Now thunder and me did not part friends What we did once I wouldn't do again So he stayed with the pure dream and followed the moon 'til the drugs in his body made his mind a cartoon Look away look away So a few years later thunder died broke Sable had a baby back at her folks Me I went straight and serious too There wasn't much else that I could do Look away look away So now that I'm straight I'm settled too I eat and I sleep and I work like you I got lots of feelings but I hold them down That's a way I cope with this shitty town Look away look away Look away look away
