Tempers burn like hot August heat
It drifts through the windows
And out in the streets
They're at it again, the battle of words
So much is said, but nothing is heard
The father with glaring eyes
The daughter who looks aside
The flesh and the blood's the same
But there's so much pain
She sees him, the angry man
Stuck in his ways, he won't understand
He never knows the things she feels
It seems that he's there
Just to pay for the bills
Sometimes she knows she's wrong
But she just keeps fighting on
Her words are like poison darts
Piercing his heart
She's a runaway
She won't hear what he has to say
She just turns away
Too proud to find a way
She's a runaway
Oh, such a runaway
It drifts through the windows
And out in the streets
They're at it again, the battle of words
So much is said, but nothing is heard
The father with glaring eyes
The daughter who looks aside
The flesh and the blood's the same
But there's so much pain
She sees him, the angry man
Stuck in his ways, he won't understand
He never knows the things she feels
It seems that he's there
Just to pay for the bills
Sometimes she knows she's wrong
But she just keeps fighting on
Her words are like poison darts
Piercing his heart
She's a runaway
She won't hear what he has to say
She just turns away
Too proud to find a way
She's a runaway
Oh, such a runaway
