Running From UV

Just my rendition of Jackson Browne’s “Running On Empty”…

Doctors frown at my moles, blushing head to my heels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer peels
In '65 I was just a teen and sunning up, oiled a ton
I don't know why I'm blogging now, I'm just blogging on


Sunning’s gone – running from UV
Sunning’s gone – saving hide
Sunning’s gone - running out of the sun
’Cause my sunning’s behind


Gotta do what you can just to keep yourself alive
Trying not to infuse it with drugs you use to survive
In '69 I got plenty sun and I called sun oil my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on


Sunning’s gone – running from UV
Sunning’s gone – saving hide
Sunning’s gone - running out of the sun
’Cause my sunning’s behind


Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to sunscreen
I don't know about any fun from C
If it takes some fright, that'll be all right
If I can get you to pale before I grieve


Looking down at my moles, checking under my heels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their fries I see them sunning too


Sunning’s gone – running from UV
Sunning’s gone – saving hide
Sunning’s gone - running out of the sun
’Cause my sunning’s behind


UV you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but my tanning’s behind
You know I don't even glow but I'm looking so fine
Running out of the sun ‘cause my tanning’s behind
