Hi guys, Carol M posted an idea on the Our University thread about doing a rap based on the theme of a Runaway girl, I did a short demo for that thread and have tried to build on that, Carol did a great song so she's a hard act to follow but this is a different take on the theme, I can't rap so that was a bit of a sticking point, this song is also a bit experimental and is a vocal laid over a hip hop track, this was a bit difficult to get right but I've tried my best, it was fun doing it , hope it's ok as it is a bit unusual, Here are the lyrics

RUNAWAY GIRL

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

She doesn't know what she's running for
She just packed her clothes and ran out the door

She doesn't know where she wants to go
She's just gotta get out and that's all she knows

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

Runaway girl are you sure it's right
There's a lot of darkness in the city lights
Don't be a victim in an angry world
Your people love you runaway girl

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

She doesn't know what she's running for
She just packed her clothes and ran out the door

She doesn't know where she wants to go
She's just gotta get out and that's all she knows

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

Runaway girl guess you had to go
You had your reasons but only you know
They didn't listen to a word you said
How could they know what was in your head

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

She doesn't know what she's running for
She just packed her clothes and ran out the door

She doesn't know where she wants to go
She's just gotta get out and that's all she knows

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

Runaway girl you went off the rails
It's easy to run when all else fails
They meant to help you not push you away
Runaway girl let them have their say

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

She doesn't know what she's running for
She just packed her clothes and ran out the door

She doesn't know where she wants to go
She's just gotta get out and that's all she knows

Runaway girl like a runaway train
Gonna hit the buffers gonna crash again

Runaway girl get off that train
The route your taking will lead to more pain
Stop at the station and think for a while
The ones that love you are missing their child

End slow fade out


Neat Idea Carol (And a cool challenge)

Best Wishes
