One for the Road

I've got the car,
It's parked outside,
Throw your bag next to mine.
We'll go away,
I don't know where,
With this bottle of wine.
I turn the key,
The motors running.
We say a silent 'good-bye'.
Look only forward,
To the distance,
Those lit eyes our only guide.

We left in the night.

Chase the moon-rise,
Diesel burning,
Only green lights from here on.
Bodies shaking,
Jet-black leather,
Like the asphalt tearing on.

We're out in the crazy world,
Flick a match out on the open road,
You're standing screaming,
Hair in the wind;
'This was made for us!'

We're racing forward,
Engines roaring,
Just you and I.
Sprinting faster,
Pistons pounding,
Just you and I.
I can't shake this feeling,
Blurry speeding,
You and I.
And I don't mind,
I'm just along for the ride.

City signs,
Crossing state-lines,
The far-ends of these lands.
Emerald City,
In the distance,
The night fades as we drive.
The sky unfolds,
Your red lips,
The sand stains on my jeans.
Daylight's warmth,
Kissing your body,
A real-life beauty queen.

I catch myself in the mirror,
Looking through the eyes of a killer,
We've all got a secret side.
I won't let them pull us apart.

We're racing forward,
Engines roaring,
Just you and I.
Sprinting faster,
Pistons pounding,
Just you and I.
I can't shake this feeling,
Blurry speeding,
You and I.
And I don't mind,
I'm just along for the ride.

And oh, how these rooms burn,
In endless nights.
They say we're dangerous.

We're racing forward,
Engines roaring,
Just you and I.
Sprinting faster,
Pistons pounding,
Just you and I.
I can't shake this feeling,
Blurry speeding,
You and I.
And I don't mind,
I'm just along for the ride.

We're racing forward,
Engines roaring,
Just you and I.
Sprinting faster,
Pistons pounding,
Just you and I.
I can't shake this feeling,
Blurry speeding,
You and I.
And I don't mind,
I'm just along for the ride.
