  • You're on your ear, the ocean's near
    The light has started to fade
    Your high is timed
    You found the climb

    It's hard to focus on more than what's
    In front of you, electron blue
    Adventure rings with a page
    And when

    It dawns on you, it singes blue
    Your buzz beginning to wane

    Adventure has laid its claim on you
    It's all you want to do
    You, you know where to run
    You run electron blue

    And who am I?
    I'm just a guy
    I've got a story like everyone

    But in your eyes
    You looked surprised
    And didn't know where to run

    I looked to her
    She's found the cure
    Her future's already begun

    Tomorrow is gaining speed on you
    It's all you want to do
    You, you know where to run
    You run electron blue

    You, you know where to run
    You run electron blue

    So bide your time
    You'll feel the climb
    Your high it builds like a lightning storm

    It sings like pearls
    You know that girl
    And no one is any the wiser so

    As if on cue
    Electron blue
    Tomorrow is gaining speed on you
    It's all you want to do
    You, you know where to run
    You run electron blue

    You, you know where to run
    You run electron blue

    You, you know where to run
    You run electron blue Writer/s: Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck

  • Mark from New York, NyI don't know why but I love this song. The monotony of the beat and the upbeat voclas just make me want to listen again and again.
