I just recently stumbled across this and I’m loving it big time. I’m a huge fan of 80’s music of nearly every genre and it had slipped under my radar. Some of you may remember this from a cartoon back in the 80s I’d never heard of that either. The cartoon was about Racoons, whether that’s unfortunate and ironic or awesomely fortuitous I leave for you, dear readers to decide for yourselves . The song has been covered far and wide by bands from Cybertronic spree to Lesbian bed death and everything in between. Call me crazy, you wouldn’t be the first to do so. But the lyrics in my humble opinion, sum up the predicament we as conservatives find our beloved Republic in. Under the current regime of our ostensible head of state and the malignant schemes that got us here. It’s also an anthem of hope. for the path forward and beyond the current malaise. Or Hanuman is my nephew.
the lyrics
When darkness falls,
Leaving shadows in the night,
Don’t be afraid,
Wipe that fear from your eyes.
The desperate love,
Keeps on driving you wrong,
Don’t be afraid,
You’re not alone.
Chorus
You can run with us,
We’ve got everything you need,
Run with us,
We are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.
When the cold wind blows,
Turn your cover to the cold,
Don’t be ashamed,
If you need someone to hold.
If you’re sinking in quicksand,
And it’s dragging you down,
And you feel you’re going under,
We’ll be around.
Chorus
You can run with us,
We’ve got everything you need,
Run with us,
We are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.
Short instrumental break
And you’re behind closed doors,
All alone by yourself,
And you’re longing inside,
To be somebody else.
You pick up the telephone,
And there’s no one on the line,
Don’t be afraid,
‘Cause there’s still time.
Chorus
You can run with us,
We’ve got everything you need,
Run with us,
We are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.
Repeat Chorus

I like the song and the lyrics do resonate. Kinda cool that the cartoon featured raccoons – serendipitous, I’d say.
I like it!
Got a little “Blondie” (Debbie Harry) vibe off it. Upbeat.
thanks for sharing. 🙂
