She tells no one else 'cause no one can know
Her chance of escape, yeah, her time to go
She can say what she wants but she can't speak her mind
She's just like a prisoner committed the crime

Her mother says she's always loud
She needs to give it up and settle down
Her father tried to break their rules
He took on the power, lives by the hour

No longer a child, no longer afraid
There's no turning back her decision is made
She hides from the daylight, runes from the dark
They'll know that she's gone but she had a good start

And even if they're right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They've been hiding you since '45
You run for the border
Run for the border

Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border

She's lost in the shadows, she's losing her mind
Not sure if she'll make it but she has to keep trying
She's searching for happiness that beautiful life
The pictures and magazines they kept classified

You feel forsaken, your body's shaking
As you step up to the starting line
Were you mistaken, your body's breaking
Just one chance to get it right

She's close to the border, she's starting to run
Her lungs are on fire, the lights go on
Now that they see you, there's no place to hide
You can't run for cover, you've to run for your life

And even if they are right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They've been hiding you since '45
You run for the border
Run for the border

Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border

She's a victim of '45
When they built up the borders
Passed out the orders
She's a victim of '45
When they built up the borders
Passed up the orders

Even if you think they're right behind you
Run for the border
Run for the border
They've been hiding you since '45
You run for the border
Run for the border

Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
Run for the border
