Say you don't love him, my salamander Why do you need him? Oh no, don't answer, oh no I'm getting closer I'm getting closer to your heart Keeping ahead of the rain on the road Watching my windscreen wipers (wipers) Radio play me a danceable ode Cattle beware of snipers (snipers) When will you see me, my salamander? Now don't try to tell me Oh no, don't answer, oh no I'm getting closer I'm getting closer to your heart Hitting the chisel and making a joint Glueing my fingers together ('gether) Radio play me a song with a point Sailor, beware of weather (weather) Woah, woah, I'm getting closer, my salamander Well, when will we be there? Oh no, don't answer, oh no I'm getting closer I'm getting closer to your heart I'm getting closer to your heart I'm getting closer to your heart Closer, closer Closer, closer Closer, closer, closer, closer

I heard you said it's not your problem Well that's not problem I know it's hard to sit and solve them You're not my problem, I'm not your problem But I'll sit and listen if that's what you need I know what we say isn't what we always mean But I'll step real slow and set the pace Give what I take I know it's getting closer I know I'm getting further I know it wasn't working I know we'll stop hurting I know it's getting closer I know I'm getting further I know it wasn't working I know we'll stop hurting I know it's getting closer I know I'm getting further I know it wasn't working I know we'll stop hurting I know it's getting closer I know I'm getting further I know it wasn't working I know we'll stop hurting Do I break down Do I pick up the phone Do I go out Do I just stay home Chasing shadows While I sit alone Do I know how Without being stoned Do I break down Do I pick up the phone Do I go out Do I just stay home Chasing shadows While I sit alone Do I know how Without being stoned Do I break down Do I pick up the phone Do I go out Do I just stay home Chasing shadows While I sit alone Do I know how Without being stoned

I'm digging through the glove box I thought I had a map in here The driver's door doesn't lock I bought the car my junior year There's candy in my backpack And you can pick our soundtrack We're heading for the East Coast tonight So pack your bags and hold on tight 'Cause we're taking off We're taking off Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Feet up on the dashboard We're driving with the windows down Did you forget your phone cord? We'll buy one in the next small town Get dinner at an IHOP A shower at a truck stop We'll listen to some Johnny Cash Take my hand and don't look back 'Cause we're moving on We're moving on Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Run away Run away Run away Run away Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me Stroll the midtown streets And tell me that you don't feel giddy Lady Liberty Ain't throwing us a wink or is she? Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City

Street fights all the time I take a chance into the night I've got to hear the thunder Night life dies hard Keeps me on my guard It's like a spell I'm under Cause I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city You can find me on the streets Feel my heat Dead heat makes me blind You might think I'm a rebel kind There ain't no way I'm gun shy Dizzy blonde out of reach All my stuff on the asphalt beach I know you think I'm crazy Cause I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city I'm runnin' between the sheets Oh! City (City) City (City) City (City) Oh sit Cause I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city I'm runnin' between the sheets I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city I'm runnin' between the sheets On the streets (On the street) Feel the heat (Feel the heat) City Hey!
