Roadrunner roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna ride by the stop-n-shop
With the radio on
I’m in love with the modern world
I’m in touch I’m a modern girl
New york city when it’s late at night
I got the radio on
I’m like a roadrunner yeah

Said hello to the spirit of ol’ 1956
It was pacing in the woods next to ’57
Well the highway was my only friend
Cuz I went by so quick
Suburban trees were out there
And consequently it smelt like heaven
So I say roadrunner once roadrunner twice
I’m in love with the modern world
So let’s go out all night aw

With the radio on got the fm
Radio on got the powerg got the magic
Radio on 50,000 watts of power
Radio on going faster miles an hour
Radio on I feel like a roadrunner yeah

Can’t ya hear it out in jersey now
New york city when it’s late at night
I’m headin’ east on st. marks
Over to tompkin square park down by the power lines
I see all the neon and it’s cold at night
I got my radio on
It’s so exciting here with the skyscrapers
In the dark
I feel in touch with the modern world
I feel in touch I feel alive
With 50,000 watts of power

I got the radio on
Roadrunner roadrunner
Radio on going faster miles an hour
Radio on ya know I walk by the stop-n-shop
Radio on and then I drove by the stop-n-shop
Radio on and I like that much better than
Walking by the stop-n-shop

1. When you get out of the hospital,

Let me back into your life.
I can't stand what you do,
I'm in love with your eyes.
And when you get out of the dating bar,
I'll be here to get back into your life.
I can't stand what you do,
I'm in love with your eyes.
Oh, I can't stand what you do,
Sometimes I can't stand you,
And it makes me think about me,
That I'm involved with you.
But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

I go to bakeries all day long,
There's a lack of sweetness in my life;
And there is pain inside,
You can see it in my eyes.
Oh there is pain inside,
You can see it in my eyes.
Makes me think about me,
That I've lost my pride.
But I'm in love with this power that resides in your eyes.

You live in modern apartments.
Well, I even got scared once or twice.
Last time I walked down your street,
There were tears in my eyes.
Well these streets we all know,
They help us cry when we're alone late at night.
Don't you love them too?
That where you got your eyes?
Oh I can't stand what you do,
Sometimes I can't stand you,
And it makes me think about me,
How I'm involved with you.
But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes.

Now, your world, it is beautiful.
I'll take the subway to your suburb sometime.
I'll seek out the place that must have been magic
To your little girl mind.
Now as a little girl, you must have been magic.
I still get jealous of your old boyfriends
in the suburbs sometimes.
Next time I walk down your street,
Probably be tears in my eyes.
I knew it would happen.
I can't stand what you do,
Sometimes I can't stand you,
And it makes me think about me,
That I'm involved with you.
But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes.

So when you get out of the hospital,
Let me back into your life.

I can't stand what you do,
But I'm in love with your eyes.
