RUN, RUN, GET AWAY
VERSE 1
When we met you were so sweet
I thought I swept you off your feet
But our future wasn’t in your plans
You come round just to see
What is left of what was me
Don’t you see that I’m a broken man?
But I’ll run from you if I can
CHORUS
Run, run get away
From you, darling
Run, run get away
From you, girl
Run, run get away
From you, darling
Look what you done, done to my world
VERSE 2
Nail me up on your wall
Hanging there just for all
To admire like you were Van Gogh
You sculpt in pain, paint in tears
Your handiwork’s lasted years
Each time you’re here I should go
You’ll never change your ways, this I know
REPEAT CHORUS

RADIO BOYS*
VERSE 1
Modulation at the station
Seeking out a destination
Take requests on the phone
Sitting on your dee jay throne
We were young, we were free
Just the way it ought to be
CHORUS 1
Like the Radio Boys at Destiny Ranch
Radio Boys in love with the world
Radio Boys at Infinity Pass
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
VERSE 2
Cue the records, spin the dial
Own the airwaves for awhile
Sending signals out in space
Seeping into everyplace
That cup it’s just a cup
Until you fill it up
CHORUS 2
Like the Radio Boys knockin’ one back
Radio Boys drinkin’ up the world
Radio Boys with a cold six pack
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
VERSE 3
Import LPs, chrome cassettes,
CDs weren’t invented yet
R’n’B, Rock’n’Roll
One big supersonic stroll
All we needed was the chance
To make the sliders dance
CHORUS 3
Like the Radio Boys at the record hop
Radio boys giving life a twirl
Radio Boys, never, ever gonna stop
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
CHORUS 4
Like the Radio Boys at Destiny Ranch
Radio Boys on top of the world
Radio Boys at Infinity Pass
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls
Ridin’ with the Radio Girls

STEREO GIRL
VERSE 1
Watch her dance
See her sway
I try to catch her eye
But so won’t look my way
Eyes shut tight
Headphones on
She’s lost to the world
In her favorite song
She’s a
CHORUS
Stereo, (stereo), stereo girl
She’s a stereo girl
Stereo, (stereo), stereo girl
She’s a stereo girl
VERSE 2
When she’s up
The world is right
Tilts towards the sun
And fills up with light
But when the light
Fades to gray
There’s nothing you can do
To take the pain away
From a
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Don’t know her name
Or where she lives
But all the same
I know I’ve got a lot to give to a
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
Drums on the left
Voices right
And stuck in the middle is me
Oh, any time
Day or night
She doesn’t know what she could be
My
REPEAT CHORUS

WHY, WHY, WHY
VERSE 1
This mean old world won’t get no nicer
It took your dream and sliced and diced her
Made you lie up in your bed
Blankets pulled over your head
And turn my way for sanity
Why, why, why, is it up to me, now (X2)
VERSE 2
I never signed anoapplication
To join the army of your nation
And to keep your borders safe
Or to keep the world at bay
Land of the blue, please set me free
Why, why, why, is it up to me, now (X2)
BRIDGE
Life is short
Live is long
Beats the rich and strong
Take a chance
Don’t be a fool
Jump into the deep end of, the deep end of, the deep end of the pool
Why, why, why, is it up to me, now (X2)
VERSE 3
Sometimes the batteries are not included
Sometimes fantasies get excluded
Some assembly is required
Some guns just need to get fired
Don’t you try to put the blame on me
Why, why, why, is it up to me, now (X3)
