Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
There's a song playing on the radio Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay And oh if you stay I'll chase the rain blown fields away We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun Oh if you stay, we'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today There's a song playing through another wall All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day 'Cause on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow every day And oh if you stay I'll chase the rain blown fears away We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today.
