A cloud appears above your head; A beam of light comes shining down on you, Shining down on you. The cloud is moving nearer still. Aurora borealis comes in view; Aurora comes in view. And I ran, I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day. I couldn�t get away. Reached out a hand to touch your face; You�re slowly disappearing from my view; Disappearing from my view. Reached out a hand to try again; I�m floating in a beam of light with you; A beam of light with you. And I ran, I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day.

He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone And now it's 18 and life You got it 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.

You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend And now it's 18 and life You got it 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go "Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away. 18 and life You got it 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go ---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ii.

We got a thing that's called radar love We got a wave in the air Radar love The radio's playin' some forgotten song. Revelrie's coming on strong. The road has got me hypnotized, As I spin into a new sunrise. When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough, She sends comfort coming in from above. Don't need no letters at all. We got a thing that's called radar love We got a line in the sky No more speed I'm almost there. Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care. Last car to pass, here I go. The line of cars drove down real slow. The radio plays that forgotten song. Brenda Lee's coming on strong. The news man sang his same song, One more radar lover gone. When I'm feeling lonely and I'm sure I've had enough. She sends the comfort coming in from above. Don't need no radio at all We got a thing that's called radar love We got a light in the sky We got a thing and its called radar love We got a thing that's called Radar love ---------------- =============================================================== 5.
