Persephone
(Eric Carmen)
Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin' to find out who I am
Endless nights and Olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran
Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Don't know how I became
What I suddenly am
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man
Wind is gone and my head's in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race
Someone's callin' my nam
Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin' to find out who I am
Endless nights and Olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran
Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Don't know how I became
What I suddenly am
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man
Wind is gone and my head's in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race
Someone's callin' my nam
I'm in Love w/My Car
Ain't got a girl
I ain't got many friends
Gonna drive that car of mine
To the living end
My baby likes to run
Run as fast as you can
And when I'm in her
I feel like a manI'm in love with my car.
Got a V-8 motor
Listen to her purr
And when I put my pedal down
My whole world's a blur
Cruisin' down the highway
My lead sled's mean and low
The police behind me
I ain't ready to goI'm in love with my car.
Got twin carburetors
I got dual exhaust
And it don't matter baby
If we get lost
Make love to me girl
In my back seat
The radio's a playin' something
Slow and sweetI'm in love with my car.
