[Verse 1]
The engine’s screaming like a ghost in the night.
I’ve got a hundred miles to go before the morning light. You’re sitting there like a queen on a vinyl throne. But your heart is a desert and you’re feeling alone!
[Verse 2]
Oh, put your foot on the brake and your hand on the wheel. You don’t know half of the hunger I feel! You’re chasing a ghost that you’ll never outrun. I’m a loaded pistol and you’re just a toy gun!
[Pre-Chorus: Both Vocals – Building harmony]
And the radio is playing “Only The Lonely”
But I don’t want to be lonely no more!
(NO MORE! NO MORE!)
[Chorus]
We’re burning down the highway on a one-way track. We’re going to hell and we’re never coming back! It’s a dashboard fever, it’s a soul on fire. lust is a motor and the devil’s a tire! Everything is louder than everything else. Until we’re losing ourselves!
[Bridge: Dialogue Style – Music slows down to a rhythmic bass and piano]
Do you love me?
Is that a question or a threat?
It’s a promise, baby, that you haven’t seen yet!
Then stop the car!
I can’t stop the car!
[Both: Shouting] WE’RE ALREADY FLYING TOO FAR!
We’re burning down the highway on a one-way track
We’re going to hell and we’re never coming back!
It’s a dashboard fever, it’s a soul on fire
Lust is a motor and the devil’s a tire!
[Outro]
I’ll never let you go!
You better never let me go!
[Both:] FOREVER! AND EVER! AND EVER!
