Beatrix runs because she knowsthat her heart beats like a vagabond'sBreathing hard and looking back -her past is breathing down her neck.Up the hill, through gateCross a bridgeOh, it is taking her away.Mom and Dad are fast asleepand the sunrise creeping down the streetWake up soon, but there's no noteShe is gone, she's taken by the roada little girl in a dresslike a ghost, swallowed by the mist.Don't tell me how to live my lifeor tell me how to be aliveMama dear, Daddy dearYou know I'll be alrightOf all those lessons you could teachyou failed to practice what you preachMama dear, Daddy dearI don't belong to youI'm headed for the night.Beatrix runs because she feelsSongtextethere's a mire sucking at her heelsa prom queen dress, a waiting mouldand good girls do what they've been toldUp ahead there's a flash -It is dawn - and she is gone.Don't tell me how to live my lifeor tell me how to be aliveMama dear, Daddy dearYou know I'll be alrightOf all those lessons you could teachyou failed to practice what you preachMama dear, Daddy dearI'm leaving at first light.And all those plans you made for methe daughter I will never bethe soccer shoes and magazinesI'm leaving them behindThose pictures hanging on the wallare telling me it's all my faultBut I can hear another voicethat's calling me away, awayAway.Don't tell me how to live my lifeor tell me how to feel aliveMama dear, Daddy dearyou know I'll be alrightThe road is waiting in the hazethe peaks and valleys of my daysand all I know iswherever I, where I may goI'll be alright -I'm headed for the night.
