Lyrics

Jonathan Richmond, you don't dance, you stand in the corner of that lesbian bar
Johnny Lydon, you can save a soul not the queen not Steve McQueen
Not a viscous saint not a dead junkie because nothing really ever fills a hole
The earth turned flat that day David bowie got fat inside the ground
The earth turned flat that day David bowie got fat inside the ground
The earth turned flat that day David bowie got fat inside the ground
The earth turned flat that day David bowie got fat inside the ground
Modern lover, Jonathan Richmond
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't know how fast they go
Modern lover, you rich motherfucker
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't even know how fast
Modern lover, Jonathan Richmond
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't know how fast they go
Modern lover, you rich motherfucker
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't even know how fast
You don't know how fast they go
You don't even know how fast
You don't know how fast they go
They go
Brian Eno said lyrics are garbage and Joni Mitchel was the only father to a sentence that moved the mind
And if the mind is silent, does a roadrunner cross the line
And if all our heroes, got bones for feelers, dollar signs for earlobes, then why do we sing along
Because Iggy still believes in lust, and sometimes lust writes a better song than love
Yeah Iggy still believes in lust and sometimes lust writes a better song than love
Than love, than love, than love, than love, than love
Modern lover, Jonathan Richmond
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't know how fast they go
Modern lover, you rich motherfucker
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't even know how fast
Modern lover, Jonathan Richmond
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't know how fast they go
Modern lover, you rich motherfucker
You don't own a roadrunner, you don't even know how fast
You don't know how fast they go
You don't even know how fast
You don't know how fast they go
They go
A thousand miles an hour, a thousand frames of light, a thousand times we've captured, nothing in our sights
A thousand miles an hour, a thousand frames of light, a thousand times we've captured, nothing in our sights
A thousand miles an hour, a thousand frames of light, a thousand times we've captured, nothing in our sights
A thousand miles an hour, a thousand frames of light, a thousand times we've captured, nothing in our sights
Nothing in our sights
Nothing in our sights
Nothing in our sights
Go
Go go go
Walk on home
I'm not your roadrunner
