Lyrics
I slept with Sable when she was 13 Her parents were too rich to do anything She rocked her way around L.A. 'Til a New York guy carried her away Look away, look away Now, he was blond and she was dark They called him Thunder 'cause he had the spark The dream he dreamed was straight and pure But the confusion of life was gonna get him for sure Look away, look away They shared their clothes and their cowboy boots Left them all over the floor while they dyed their roots They live the dream and they went non-stop They did okay 'til the band broke up Look away, look away Look away, look away Look away Unfortunately, the needle broke Their rock and roll love like a bicycle spoke I found her in a back street with her looks half gone She was sellin' something that I was on Look away, look away Now, Thunder and me did not part friends What we done once, I wouldn't do again So he stayed with the pure dream and followed the moon Till the drugs in his body made his mind a cartoon Look away, look away So a few years later Thunder died broke Sable had a baby back at her folks Me, I went straight and serious too There wasn't much else that I could do I look away, look away So now that I'm straight, I'm settled too I eat and I sleep and I work like you I got lots of feelings but I hold them down That's a way I can cope with this shitty town I look away, look away Look away, look away
