| (here are the remainder of the lyrics) |
| I'm in love with Massachusetts |
| And the neon when it's cold outside |
| And the highway when it's late at night |
| Got the radio on |
| I'm like the roadrunner |
| Alright |
| I'm in love with modern moonlight |
| 128 when it's dark outside |
| I'm in love with Massachusetts |
| I'm in love with the radio on |
| It helps me from being alone late at night |
| It helps me from being lonely late at night |
| I don't feel so bad now in the car |
| Don't feel so alone, got the radio on |
| Like the roadrunner |
| That's right |
| Said welcome to the spirit of 1956 |
| Patient in the bushes next to '57 |
| The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick |
| Suburban trees, suburban speed |
| And it smells like heaven(thunder) |
| And I say roadrunner once |
| Roadrunner twice |
| I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night |
| Roadrunner |
| That's right |
| Well now |
| Roadrunner, roadrunner |
| Going faster miles an hour |
| Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop |
| With the radio on at night |
| And me in love with modern moonlight |
| Me in love with modern rock & roll |
| Modern girls and modern rock & roll |
| Don't feel so alone, got the radio on |
| Like the roadrunner |
| O.K., now you sing Modern Lovers |
| (Radio On!) |
| I got the AM |
| (Radio On!) |
| Got the car, got the AM |
| (Radio On!) |
| Got the AM sound, got the |
| (Radio On!) |
| Got the rockin' modern neon sound |
| (Radio On!) |
| I got the car from Massachusetts, got the |
| (Radio On!) |
| I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night |
| (Radio On!) |
| I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts |
| I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the |
| I've got the, got the power of the AM |
| Got the, late at night, (?), rock & roll late at night |
| The factories and the auto signs got the power of modern sounds |
| Alright |
| Right, bye bye! |
