ROADRUNNER

Like suicidal silhouettes on steaming summer nights
Daredevil creatures dash in screaming highway headlights
'69 Plymouth engine sings as rock n roll radio plays
40 bottle between the driver's legs; a blunt burns in the ashtray

Coyote cop with a traffic stop last thing on his mind
He files his fangs on a babe with bangs behind the Stuckey's sign
But the moment crashes as Roadrunner flashes by in a blaze of red

Cop lights the gum machine, siren screams; Wile E's done lost his head

Roadrunner, Coyote's after you
Roadrunner, if he catches you you're through
Roadrunner, Coyote's after you
Roadrunner, that dog is just a fool

The race is on; dog's engine moans; it's done this deal before
Cop's gonna lose his nerve on Dead Man's Curve the same old score
Spinning out in a cloud of dust, the cop chokes on his pride
Roadrunner reverses, asks the babe in bangs if she needs a ride

Roadrunner, Coyote's after you
Roadrunner, if he catches you you're through
Roadrunner, Coyote's after you
Roadrunner, that dog is just a fool

Riding sweet in a bucket seat, the babe winks at the bird
Once again in a two-car race, Coyote comes in third
Ain't gonna win less he gets himself a four-barrel machine gunner
Cause that dog don't wanna duel with a revved-up Roadrunner

Roadrunner, Coyote's after you
Roadrunner, if he catches you you're through
Roadrunner, Coyote's after you
Roadrunner, that dog is just a fool

That dog is just a fool

That dog is just a fool
