Chorus

So far

Gone, riding’ on another deathtrap

Screamin’ thru the night until we get there

But for right now

I don’t care

Midnight

Mistress, let me take you to the outside

I’ll show you how much wrong it takes to get right

-

Bar closer. Closin’ shift, over.

Wild for the night until it starts over

It’s progress if we fall forward

It’s not a party if the cops don’t show up

I’m in a city where there’s no way to go up

And well-versed in the art of the throat cut

Passive reactions of “so what”

So what? Woke up.

I’ll show ya hot to get free

Come and get a front seat and a conversation

We can plot out where we wanna fly first

Take over, shake up and get confrontational

They been sittin there lookin’ terse

Like somethin’s gonna happen on its own and take off

While we hover-boarding the curb

Cross state- country- cross earth.

For my med dealers, fifty dollar wielders

Bombshell baristas, coffee shop killers

Fixed-gear girls with an attitude to match

That off-the-chain bike, lock it up- I might steal it.

The more you don’t get it, the more it’s appealin’

But no more or no less for you to feel it

I can’t stop, I’m a wild-pitch fielder

Hyrule Hustler, meal-ticket wielder

Hype don’t scare. Honey, I’m used to it.

Cats wanna act like they anything but human

“til they bleedin’ a river and cryin’ out

“Lordy, lordy, lordy- ouuuwww!”

Ma, you the queen of escape routes

But tonight you don’t need one to seek out

Jake, turn the beat down.

Fuck Minneapolis. Girl, let’s leave town.

-

Where ya wanna go

What ya wanna do

Who you wanna be

Where ya wanna live

-

Have ya ever smiled to watch somebody’s soul die

A little bit the more they try to control the outcome

I can’t get satisfaction ‘less I have the free will

To decide how I die.

The colors fade into obscenity

Your old friends turn into your new enemies

And your home ain’t a garden-

Home ain’t a garden where you grow

-

CHORUS
So far

Gone

Ridin’ on another deathtrap

And dreamin’ without promise ‘til I get there

But right now

I don’t care

Midnight

Mistress let me take ya to the outside

I’ll show you how much wrong it takes to get right

Get right

Get right

-

Man,

I been doin’ pirouettes on the razor’s edge

And, everytime I come around

These haters turn to a zombie film, playin’ dead

I can’t abide with if it ain’t high risk

My style’s an apache with no pilot

Up in the air, either you stay or ride with

No ma’am, I don’t know any other way than like this

I’ma freak it without prelude or pretense

I’m anything but human on the track; Preakness

I free swim in the gameshark tank deep end

While you wouldn’t think to think what I’m speakin’

I hold tight to the samurai code

Where wolves cry wolf and there’s no high road

Aside though, from bein’ an asshole and a handful

I can be quite delightful

You’ll see, don’t think, just jump the front seat

Like my bike, baby- this thing only gots one speed

W to the A-R-P

Bad boy renegade kicked off the StarFleet

I’m part man, half-dead, part beast

I know you’re hard to get, even harder to keep

But tonight I wanna freestyle to your heartbeat

-

We’re separated from our own glory by

The fear of fuckin’ up and bein’ labeled as a borderline

I can’t get into it

Unless I’m gamblin’ with my life

You wanna play savior of the centure

Then show me you’re dien’ for the opportunity

To live somewhere other than a prison

And die free

-
