Mercury Rising - Runaway Lyrics

She had a taste for adventure
Kicking up dust in her wake
A stranger when I met her
If only trouble had a name
We were drinking under the arches
Like almost every night
She pulled me close and whispered
She'd be gone by morning light
She said take me to paradise
I wanna see the highway lit in neon light
Runaway
Take me on the road to nowhere
What you say
Stay close to me I never wanna have to beg you to stay
Cos you're doing something to me that I never felt before now
Runaway
Let's take one more for the road
And we'll run away
Shifting through the gears and we ain't got no destination
Through the mountains and the valleys cross my heart in a single motion
Cats eyes shine bright
Moonlight flickers through the trees
She gave me the night and in the morning I'll be on my knees
She said take me to paradise
I wanna see the highway lit in neon light
Runaway
Take me on the road to nowhere
What you say
Stay close to me I never wanna have to beg you to stay
Cos you're doing something to me that I never felt before now
Runaway
Let's take one more for the road
And we'll run away
She said take me to paradise
I wanna see the highway lit in neon light
Take me
The world is calling my name
I just got to know
I got to know
I got to know
Runaway
Take me on the road to nowhere
What you say
Stay close to me I never wanna have to beg you to stay
Cos you're doing something to me that I never felt before now
Runaway
Let's take one more for the road
And we'll run away
Runaway
