Beware of a tall dark stranger if he comes ridin’ into your town.
A tall dark stranger is danger (danger) so don’t let no stranger hang around
I had a tall dark handsome stranger
I’ve had the devil in disguise
I’ve been attracted to the danger
But I was never satisfied
Devil in a blue dress, blue dress, Devil with a blue dress on
Oh, you’ll find me, between
The devil and the deep blue sea
And I’m going under
Oh, you’ll find me, between
The devil and the deep blue sea
And I’m going under
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
I’d like to be under the sea in a octopuses garden…
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ 'bout very free and easy
We sailed for parts unknown to man,
Where ships come home to die.
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold,
Could match our captain’s eye.
I’ve heard there’s a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light.
No flags of truce, no cries of pity;
The siege guns had been pounding through the night.
It took a day to build the city.
We walked through its streets in the afternoon.
As I returned across the fields I’d known,
I recognized the walls that I once made.
Had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I’d laid.
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They’re not laughing anymore
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing
’Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
You’ll come running back (said you would, baby)
You’ll come running back (I always said you would)
You’ll come running back, to me
Yes time, time, time is on my side, yes it is
I wonder; I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why; why, why, why, why, why
She ran away,
And I wonder where she will stay,
My little runaway.
A-run, run, run, run, runaway.
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin’
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin’ little Runaway
I was flyin’
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, It’s a beautiful day for neighbors,would you be, won’t you be, please won’t you be my neighbor??
The skies are clear, it’s a beautiful day in L.A.
People in motion, our wheels movin’ all kind of ways,
Indoors, outdoors, in the sun; there are people everywhere havin’ fun, fun, fun;
And when the moon and stars come out at night,
We’ll know what to do when we turn out the lights…
Turn out the lights the party is over…
You say you wanna go for a spin,
The party’s just begun, we’ll let you in.
You drive us wild, we’ll drive you crazy.
You keep on shoutin’, you keep on shoutin’–
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day.
