"Wendy let me in, I wanna be your friend,I want to guard your dreams and visions.
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims, and strap your hands across my engines.
Together we could break this trap.
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back.
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? 'cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider. But I gotta know how it feels. I want to know if love is wild, babe. I want to know if love is real. Oh, can you show me?"
Â
"Beyond the palace, hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard. The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors and the boys try to look so hard. The amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist. I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the streets tonight in an everlasting kiss.
The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive. Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide. Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness, I'll love you with all the madness in my soul. Oh, someday girl, I don't know when, We're gonna get to that place where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun."
You guys are showing your ages; this was a big hit.

"In the day, we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream.
At night, we ride through mansions of glory
In suicide machines.
Sprung from cages out on Highway 9.
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line.
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back,
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
We gotta get out while we're young."

Hi waysider. So I want to remind you about this thread 'Name That Tune' is played and how it's differs from the 'Songs remembered from one line'. Songs thread is just easy to remember. That's it, and it doesn't require the name of the songwriter or band. Just the song, and usually it's just one or two lines.Â
The tune thread differs in that it requires that we give more than one line, perhaps a full verse and, depending on its difficulty maybe several verses. So, generally the song here, isn't one that is recognized from one or two lines, (although it can be), so it becomes a more challenging thread. And, here, we are required to name a group or artist who either actually recorded it, or was covered by another artist and it had received enough radio play to make it memorable. Say for example, ~The Bangles~ and their cover of ~Simon and Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter".
For me, in this case, there isn't enough lyrics to draw information.
And the years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And I guess I lost my way
And the years rolled slowly past And i found myself alone Surrounded by strangers i thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home And i guess i lost my way There were oh so many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much i owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend
She must belong to San Francisco
She must have lost her way
Postin' a poster of Poncho and Cisco
One California day
She said she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood
And colours of green and grey
And all you can do is laugh at her
Doesn't anybody know how to pray?
Mmmm strip off your pride you're acting like a teeny-bopper run away child
And scrape off the paint from the face of a little town saint
Didn't know what time it was the lights were low I leaned back on my radio Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul', he said Then the loud sound did seem to fade

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Assuming that's it, it's another song I heard countless times without ever listening to the lyrics.

And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way

I was completely stuck, until "living to run and running to live" jumped out at me.

Didn't know what time it was
the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down
some rock 'n' roll
'lotta soul', he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade

Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive
He told me, "Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie"
