|
It's after midnight in the city of broken dreams |
|
Down in the alley, Galileo meets his pack of thieves |
|
Over the river by the old hotel |
|
There's a big car coming like a bat out of Hell |
|
It's the dangerous stranger in his ghostly limousine. |
|
You get the feeling that he's running in an endless race |
|
Driving through the city like a razor across its face |
|
Stops on the corner in a flash of flame |
|
He calls to me ('Hey boy, what's your name ?') |
|
He's the stranger with a danger if you ever get to play his game. |
|
I want to go for a ride |
|
To see what lies on the other side |
|
I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight. |
|
I climb right in, like a fool I say I'll go |
|
I listen to the messages comin' through his radio |
|
Is that my name on channel 9 ? They say |
|
('You're going away for a long long time') |
|
With the dangerous stranger from a station on the other side. |
|
I want to go for a ride |
|
To see what lies on the other side |
|
I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight. |
|
The night is black and the stars no longer burn |
|
The radio says that we're past the point of no return |
|
I scream at the driver but he says |
|
('No way, you shouldn't have come if you didn't want to stay') |
|
He's the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time |
