The moon is bright, the night is clear The beads are swaying above the wheel The flares expand to circles of red, orange & gold The night is deep, deeper than both of us It spills with promise and disaster Drive a little faster, 'cause I can't wait for what is waiting for us The smell of cigarettes on your leather jacket All you need stashed in your pocket The car is flying under a mess of wires like a rocket Baby it won't be long till the rest of the world catches on A thousand miles an hour, the night will keep us warm Until the dawn, I'll be hanging on, until the end of the song And the hell we'll raise is an after-thought We won't think much about getting caught Now it's ourselves we face, so let the tape replay On the car stereo until it decays... Baby it won't be long till the rest of the world catches on A thousand miles an hour, the night will keep us warm Until the dawn, I'll be hanging on, until the end of the song The moon is bright, the night is clear The beads are swaying above the wheel The flares expand, my hand in your hand, our story untold
