The Cars - Panorama Album Lyrics

Chorus:
don't tell me no
it's my transition, it's my play
it's my phone call to betray
it's my hopscotch, light the torch
it's my downtime, feel the scorch

(chorus)
it's my ambition, it's my joke
it's my teardrop, emotional smoke
it's my mercy, it's my plan
i want to go to futureland

Chorus:
i got no clue what they want to do with you
it's just getting through, getting through to you

living outside the misdemeanor
some get lost and some are screamers
it's easy to tell the great pretender
broken wings and flip top fenders

(chorus)

i don't want to be your suffering box
argue art or untie your knots
i don't want to be your bad connection
or fit into your reality vision

(chorus)

i get cooled out
i get the come ons
i get rumbled
i get crumbled

Chorus:
i'm the American misfit kid
still wondering what I did

i'm on the inside taking a fast ride
i'm stiletto so
so sharp and I'm willing to cut
sometimes nebulous
I'm ready to strut
lost and frantic
new age romantic
checking out the race
never cared about what it meant
always loved disgrace

i get rhythm
i get Cornflakes
i get fast love
i get wasted

(chorus)

i dream frequently
sometimes they come out funny
i live with absurdity
always warm and runny
all these parties get so ritual
lonely hearts and aces
always pushing, always pulling
always in the races

(chorus)

Chorus:
you can't make it with the down boys
they don't hear a word you say
you can't make it with the down boys
just stay out of their way

you were trying to be sharp
but they couldn't wait
you were trying to be eternal
but that didn't rate
you were trying to be smooth
you're rough on the edges
you were trying to be hysterical
well i still ain't laughing

(chorus)

you were trying to be in
but they left you out
you were trying to be in
two different worlds
you were trying to be in
oscillation in shame
you were trying to be in
but you're lost in the game

(chorus)

just take your time
'cause it's not too late
i'll be your mirror
so you won't hesitate
i'm easy to be found
whenever you come down

you got that walk, you do the stroll
you make me lose my ground control
you got that look I can't resist
like something missing, never kissed
you do the pogo without the bounce
you got the name I can't pronounce
you fall in love like the sting
you make believe it's everything

i'm having a real time
taking what's not mine
and I'm doing what I want to do

Chorus:
that's running to you

you're looking for someone
maniacal shots
you're looking for someone
over the top

i'm having a real time
reading your headline
and I'm doing what I want to do

(chorus)

you're hoping for someone
fits in the plan
you're hoping for someone
two in the hand

i'm having a real time
taking what's not mine
and I'm doing what I like to do

(chorus)

well come on, well come on
you might have been a crackshot shooter
hung up on your figurine
under the cold and darkly sky
you're the only light I've seen

Chorus:
well come on, well come on
and it happens everytime
i'm still hanging on the line
don't want to go up and down

you don't have to be so touch
i'll tell you when I've had enough
you don't have to reek with charm
you won't have to twist my arm
well come on, well come on

(chorus)
