Lyrics Ola Podrida - Run Off The Road

When you finally scaled the wall
Thinking you had heard the siren singing
What you really heard was a broken bird
Making out like it's a dove
When you stole the soldier's car
Everybody knew what you were thinking
Ivory towers and lover's flowers
But no one thought you were a fool
You never stopped to notice all
The stolen clothes stacked in the hall
From the others who scaled the wall just to
Find themselves fun off the road

When you showed up at the farm
Visions of the summer flying past you
The foxes had torn up
The mother and her pups
And the well was full of flies
When you walked down to the pond
Searching for the lover guiding you
It had been filled in with rusty nails and then
You finally knew that you were lost
But no one thought you were a fool
Even though everyone knew
That your road was the same
With just a different name
As those who'd escaped before you

You never stopped to notice all
The loose change strewn in the hall
From the others who scaled the wall just to
Find themselves run off the road
