[Verse 1]
Strolling past Temptation Avenue
You hear so many voices calling you
Calling you
Maybe you'll step in
And take a quick look around
But try to walk through it
And you're gonna fall down

[Chorus]
You've gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You've gotta run away
It's a prison that is calling your name
And you just can't win if you play
So run away

[Verse 2]
There comes a time
When you must stand and fight
You've gotta fight
When the darkness tries
To overcome the light (overcome the light)
But sin that is dressed up in the color of gray
Is only defeated When we run away
[Chorus]
We've gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You've gotta run away
It's a prison that is calling your name
And you just can't win if you play
So run away

[Bridge]
Don't put yourself in that position
Where sin can make its proposition
And if you find that you have fallen
You gotta get up, get ready to run
Next time sin comes calling, calling

[Chorus]
You've gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You've gotta run away
It's a prison that is calling your name
And you just can't win if you play
[Chorus/Outro]
You've gotta run away
Turn around and run the other way
Don't even look in the direction
Of a thought you should not entertain
You've gotta run away
It's a prison that is calling your name
And you just can't win if you play
You've gotta run away... (run away)
