RUNAWAY BOYS Get kicked out for coming home at dawn Mum and dad cursed the day you were born Throw your clothes into a duffel bag Shouting and slam the door at home to drug Who can I turn to, where can I stay I've heard of places open all night and all day There's a place you can go where the cops don't know You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child. Runaway boys Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob You're only 15 and you can't get a job Run into the luncheontte and shoot a few games Losin' all your quarters man it's always the same Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy Slip into the alley with the runaway boys Runaway boys Running faster Faster all the time ou're under age and God knows that's a crime repeat Runaway boys repeat Runaway boys Runaway boys...
STORM THE EMBASSY 50 men taken captive in a hostile foreign land Scorching sun beating down onto miles and miles of sand mid east country being ruled by a man who thinks it's fun To hold our people in return for a shah that's on the run I think it's funny Freedom takes money It's a heart ache and it's hard luck Well that's tough shit, man, it's no fun Storm in an iranian embassy Before he starts shooting down you and me (Hey!) Scores of suits take control of the diplomatic mess While the nations of the world look on and can't care less The Soviet Union won't agree to an economic ban and then they laugh and march their troops into Afganistan On earth from Moscow Invade Teheran now repeat nation worries and reads the papers hoping that no one has died Hearing rumors that the hostages will soon be tried to spy Demonstrations on the street saying that the end is near The man from The New York Times on vacation wants to know what's happend here ddress their bags now We want them back now 50 moms crying "Is my son Dying?" repeat

I slink down the alley, looking for a fight
Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night

But I got cat class, and I got cat style
The blues is low down acheinchill

Well we woke up unsatisfied Got out of bed and said goodbye
But don't leave me here dyin' on the cross of love
Don't leave me here dyin' on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now baby realize You can't make our love sacrifice
Don't leave me here dyin' on the cross of love Who pays the cost
If the love that is lost goes unredeemed And why should I care
If this cross that I bear is destiny My heart was pure, my love was strong
Forgive me if I done you wrong Don't leave me here dyin' on the cross of love

Something stirs deep inside I wont stand in your way anymore
