Platform 6

[Refrain]
I should just run
I should just run
I should just run
I should just run

[Verse 1]
"Man it's so dirty," cries a small young boy
He keeps in shadows as he plays with his toy
A sudden movement and he looks up at me
I don't remember much of platform three
Eternal breezes make me feel so cold
The station's closing or that's what I'm told
A wailing siren and I make for the door
I don't remember much of platform four

[Refrain]
I should just run
I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)
I should just run
I should just run

[Verse 2]
And there he's crying and he doesn't know why
He lifts his head and makes to look for the sky
A neon sign tells me I'm still alive
I don't remember much of platform five
Know where I'm going, I don't have to decide
The driver's there to take me for a ride
He has his magazines to get his kicks
He hasn't told me on platform six

[Refrain]
I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)
I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)
I should just run (Why can't I do it tonight?)
