Lyrics
Do ya wanna run?
Do ya wanna run?
Do ya wanna run with me? repeat
Morena (moreno) gimme that smile
one that I've been waitin' for for such a long while
streaking the shadows like the mornin' sun shinin' on the forest where the wild ones run.
caught up in the orbit of your star
hummin' like a he man in a new car
happy like student in the end of may
waitin' for the last bell and time to play
oowee I'm happy I'm alive and I'm free
(chorus)
Morena lickity split
walkin' down the garden path where you sit
tingling my follicles bite my back
clickity clack of the railroad track
over night the engineer's moving this train
filled up the cookin' tanks with propane
suddenly there's somebody on my arm
trippin' the trigger on my love alarm
oowee I'm shakin' like tree in the breeze
(chorus)
