Lyrics

[Refrain]
We cannot resist
We cannot resist
We cannot resist
We cannot resist
[Verse 1]
Kids on the run
Falling for each other
Down to have fun and out to burn rubber
Kids on the run
Smiling at each other
Show has begun and they're down to play lovers
Kids on the run
Only just discovered
Now they've found one, they will never love another
Kids in love
Smiling at each other
That's the first taste from which no one will recover
[Chorus]
Among the world of things untamed are the objects as yet unexplained
My object of choice is the oil that forms on a well-strung voice
[Verse 2]
We cannot resist
We cannot resist
[Verse 3]
Kids on the run
Living for each other
Catching out stars and sitting in gutters
Kids on the run
No one will recover
That is the fate of these first-time lovers
Kids on the run
Spectacles of colour
Sparks will fly out from the skin of love's drummers
Kids in love
Living for each other
That's the first taste and no one will recover
[Chorus]
Speak to me sacredly on the subject of profanity
Thick-blooded hedonists seduced by what we cannot resist
[Refrain]
We cannot resist
We cannot resist
[Verse 4]
Kids on the run
Falling for each other
Down to have fun and out to burn rubber
Kids on the run
Smiling at each other
Show has begun and they're down to play lovers
Kids on the run
Only just discovered
Now they found one they will never love another
Kids in love
Smiling at each other
That's the first taste from which no one will recover
[Chorus]
Among the world of things untamed are the objects as yet unexplained
My object of choice is the oil that forms on a well-strung voice
Speak to me sacredly on the subject of profanity
Thick-blooded hedonists seduced by what we cannot resist
[Outro]
We cannot resist (We cannot resist)
We cannot resist (We cannot resist)
We cannot resist (We cannot resist)
We cannot resist (We cannot resist)
