Elizaveta Lyrics
"Beatrix Runs"

Beatrix runs because she knows
That her heart beats like a bag of bones
Breathing hard, looking back
Her past is breathing down her neck
Up the hill, through the gate
Across the bridge
Oh, it is taking her away

Mom and dad are fast asleep
And the sunrise creeping down the street
Wake up soon, but there's no note
She's gone, she's taken by the world
Little girl in a dress
Like a ghost swallowed by the mist

Don't tell me how to live my life
Tell me how to feel alive
Momma dear, Daddy dear
You know I'll be alright

Of all those lessons you could teach
You failed to practice what you preach
Momma dear, Daddy dear
I don't belong to you
I'm headed for the night

Beatrix runs, because she feels
There's a mire sucking at her heels
A grokking dress, waiting there
But good girls do what they've been told
And up ahead there's a flash
It is done, she is gone

Don't tell me how to live my life
Tell me how to be alive
Momma dear, Daddy dear
You know I'll be alright

Of all those lessons you could teach
You failed to practice what you preach
Momma dear, Daddy dear
I'm leaving at first light

And all those vows you made for me
You don't know now, I'll never be
In circus shoots, those magazines
I'm leaving them behind

Those pictures hanging on the wall
Telling me it's all my fault
But I can hear a another voice
That's calling me away away away

Oh, oh, oh

Don't tell me how to live my life
Tell me how to be alive
Momma dear, Daddy dear
You know I'll be alright

The road is waiting in the haze
And peace and value of the days
And all i know is, wherever I
Wherever I may go
I'll be alright
I'm headed for the night
