Roadrunner Songtext
von The Jazz Butcher

Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going forty miles an hour
We′re gonna drive by the stopping shop
With the radio on
You see, I'm in love with my unloveliness
I′m in love with modern suburban bleakness
I'm in love with the modern world
I have the radio on
Just like a roadrunner
Going around the highway
I walked by the stopping shop
And then I drove by the stopping shop
I liked that much better than walking by the stopping shop
I had the radio on
I fell in touch with the modern world
I fell in love with the modern world
I fell in love with Blackthorn in Northampton
I had the radio on
Just like a roadrunner
Oh, I know you know


Saying hello to the spirit of old 1956
It was stationed in the bushes next to '57
Well, the highway was my girlfriend ′cause I went by so quick
Suburban trees, suburban speed and it smelled like heaven
Said roadrunner once, roadrunner twice
We′re in love with rock 'n′ roll, guess we'll be out all night
We can tell them now, Sikorsky, it′s (Radio on)
Good, we got the AM (Radio on)
We got the power, got the magic now (Radio on)
Oh, got the radio on
Ooh, yes indeed
Now this is Butchy talking
So can you feel it at Needham now?
Down on Route 128, down by the power lines
So exciting there at night
With the pine trees in the dark
It's so cold here in the dark
Fifty thousand watts of power
We go about forty miles an hour
We go about forty miles an hour
About forty miles, we go about forty miles
We go about forty miles, we go about forty miles
About forty miles an hour, huh, forty miles an hour
Oh, forty miles an hour, oh, forty miles an hour
We′re going, we're going, we're going, we′re going
We go about forty miles an hour
Like a roadrunner
Say look here, here′s Wilbur
Would you believe such a thing could happen
And there you are driving late at night
You thought everything was okay out
There in the northern eastern district
You thought it was just fine when suddenly
Two cars left
But only one reached his destination
Because Maximilian Eiler did not know it
But he was entering the Twilight Zone
That's where he went
Said, "I wouldn′t live next door to one if I were you"
Said, "I wouldn't live next door to one if I were you"
Said, "I wouldn′t live next door to one if I were you"
Said, "I wouldn't live next door to one if I were you"
Said, "The rock ′n' roll sound of the Sikorskys from hell
The rock 'n′ roll sound just like ringing a bell
The rock ′n' roll sound of the Sikorskys from hell
The rock ′n' roll sound, this is Butchy′s style
Rock 'n′ roll vegetable live next door to you
Rock 'n' roll vegetable, vegetable stew"
Roadrunner, roadrunner (Radio on)
We′re going forty miles an hour
I′m gonna drive by the stopping shop
I had my radio on
I'm at war with modern music
I′m in love with the wall of fur
I'm in love with every bit of it
While I had my radio on
What do you say about that, Sikorsky? It′s (Radio on)
Of course you would (Radio on)
I like it (Radio on)
I got the power, got the magic now (Radio on)
We're off into the Twilight Zone (Radio on)
Into the Twilight Zone (Radio on)
Into the Butchy Zone (Radio on)
Into the rock ′n' roll Zone (Radio on)
Into the wild modern Zone (Radio on)
Into the rock 'n′ roll, rock ′n' modern lovin′ (Radio on)
I'm talkin′ modern lovin' sound, not rockin′ lovin' (Radio on)
I'm feelin′ alive, I feel alive
I feel in love, I feel alive (Radio on)
I feel alive and I′ll tell you what else
I don't feel lonely either (Radio on)
I′m feelin' in love with the modern world, yeah (Radio on)
I′m feelin' live in the modern world (Radio on)
I said roadrunner, roadrunner, roadrunner
This is a fine time we′re having
Go home
Put it in the garage
