Good morning and Happy Saturday, Cats, Kittens and little dahlings!!
You can thank Mary 6-name for this Ocho-rific extravaganza about running away!!
We've both been dying to take off on a Thelma & Louise adventure ... however we do not plan to shoot out any police radios or anything like that on our adventure. Anywho, we're running away in just a tad over 83 days and I'm terribly excited!
Before we begin, let me say that there is some discrepancy about the second "run" in the title. You can read more about
that in the comments beneath the lyrics at the songmeanings link below. I've investigated it to the best of my ability for today. If you should happen to find anything on it, please do come back and share a link with the rest of us!! :)

I like black and white
(dreaming of black and white)
You like black and white
Run run away
[chorus]
See chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away
If you're in the swing
(money ain't everything)
If you're in the swing
Run run away
If you gotta crush
(don't beat about the bush)
When I gotta crush
Run run away
Oh now can't you wait
(love don't come on a plate)
Oh now can't you wait
Run run away
See there chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away
Run run away
Run run away
Run run away
