One two three four five six
Roadrunner roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna ride by the stop-n-shop
With the radio on
I'm in love with the modern world
I'm in touch i'm a modern girl
New york city when it's late at night
I got the radio on
I'm like a roadrunner yeah
Said hello to the spirit of ol' 1956
It was pacing in the woods next to '57
Well the highway was my only friend
Cuz i went by so quick
Suburban trees were out there
And consequently it smelt like heaven
So i say roadrunner once roadrunner twice
I'm in love with the modern world
So let's go out all night aw

Radio on got the powerg got the magic
Radio on 50,000 watts of power
Radio on going faster miles an hour
Radio on i feel like a roadrunner yeah
Can't ya hear it out in jersey now
New york city when it's late at night
I'm on west side highway heading
Up to the g.w. bridge down by the power lines
I see all the neon and it's cold at night
I got my radio on
It's so exciting here with the skyscrapers
In the dark

I feel in touch i feel alive
With 50,000 watts of power
