Roadrunner (Once) (Expanded Edition Bonus Track)

(专辑： Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - 1976)

One, two, three, four, five, six

Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive past the Stop & 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 Road Runner
Going around the highway

I walked by the Stop & Shop
Then I drove by the Stop & Shop
I liked that much better than walking by the Stop & 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 hello to the spirit of ol' 1956
It was patient, in the bushes, next to '57
Well, the highway was my only girlfriend, 'cause I went by so quick
And suburban trees were out there, and consequently, it smelled like heaven
So I say roadrunner once, roadrunner twice
We're in love with this feeling now, and we'll be out all night

Alright, now we can tell them about our love, you men
I got the AM
I got the power, I feel the feeling now
I feel the feeling and it's feeling alright, now
And I feel in touch with the modern world
Okay, let's go, now, 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
It's so cold, here, in the dark
With 50,000 watts of power
We go by faster miles an hour
With the radio on

Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
I'm gonna drive by the Stop & 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, you guys?
Good! We got the AM
I think we got the power, got the magic now
We got the feeling of the modern world
We got the feeling of the modern sound
The sound of the modern radio feeling when it's late at night
Got the sound of the modern loneliness when it's cold outside
Got the sound of Massachusetts when it's blue and white
The sound on Route 128 on the dark and lonely
I feel alone in the cold and lonely
I feel a-, I feel alone in the cold neon
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel alive, I feel a rocking modern love
I feel a rocking modern life, I feel a rocking modern neon modern sound, modern Boston town
A modern sound, modern neon, modern miles around
I say roadrunner once, I say roadrunner twice, say roadrunner all look very nice
Roadrunner gonna go home now, yes
Roadrunner go home, oh yes
Roadrunner go home, here we go now
We're gonna drive him home, you guys

Here we go
That's right
Again
Bye-bye
