Roadrunner (Once) |
Roadrunner, roadrunner |
Going faster miles an hour |
Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop |
With the radio on… |
I’m in love with the modern world |
Massachusetts when it’s late at night |
And the neon when it’s cold outside |
I got the radio on… |
Just like the roadrunner |
Goin around the highway |
I walked past the stop’n’shop |
Then I drove past the stop’n’shop |
I like that much better than walking by the stop’n’shop |
Cause I had the radio on…, |
I felt in touch with the modern world |
I felt in love with the modern world |
I felt in love with Mattapan and Roslindale |
Cause I had the radio on…, |
I felt like the Road Runner |
With the radio on… |
Now I said welcome to the spirit of old 1956 |
It was patient in the bushes next to '57 |
Well the highway was my only girlfriend I went by so quick |
And suburban trees were out there, and consequently it smelled like heaven |
And so I say roadrunner once, roadrunner twice… |
Were in love with this feeling now and we’ll be out all night |
All right, now we can tell them about our love, you men |
(Radio On!) I got the AM… |
(Radio On!) I’ve got the power, I feel the feeling now… |
(Radio On!) I feel the feeling and it’s feeling alright now… |
(Radio On!) And I feel in touch with the modern world |
OK let’s go down route 128 |
Oh Yeah |
Can you feel it out in Needham now? |
Out in Route 128 by the power lines |
It’s so exciting there at night |
With the pine trees in the dark |
With the 50,000 watts of power |
We go faster miles an hour |
With the radio on… |
Road Runner, Road Runner |
Goin faster miles an hour |
I’m gonna drive past the stop’n’shop |
With the radio on…, |
See I’m in love with the modern world |
Massachusetts when it’s late at night |
And the neon when it’s cold outside |
You see I have the radio on…, |
Like the Road Runner |
Now what do you think about that guys? |
(Radio On!) Good! |
we got the AM… |
(Radio On!) I think we got the power, got the magic now… |
(Radio On!) We got the feeling of the modern world… |
(Radio On!) The sound of the modern radio feeling when it’s late at night… |
(Radio on!) Got the sound of the modern loneliness when it’s cold outside… |
(Radio on!) Got the sound of Massachusetts when it’s blue and white… |
(Radio on!) Got Route 128 on a dark and lonely night… |
(Radio on!) I feel alone and cold and lonely… |
(Radio on!) I feel alone in the cold neon… |
(Radio on!) I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel alive, I feel the Rockin… |
(Radio on!) Go home now, yes… |
(Radio on!) Gonna go home, yes… |
(Radio on!) Road Runner go home, here we go now… |
(Radio on!) Were gonna drive 'em home you guys |
Here we go |
That’s right |
Bye-bye! |
