[Intro]

She rubbed her eyes

And faked a smile for me and said

“it’s like I never go to sleep

I just lay in bed"

[Verse 1]

No dreams, it keeps me up

In an airport bar at midnight

Waiting for our plane to come

Wait until we see this moonlight turn into the morning sun

All wet as we hit the ground

And we find ourselves on Glendale

Hard rain is pouring down

But if we’re fast, we’ll catch the light rail

[Pre-Chorus]

Gaining speed and with every turn

We hold our breath and we never learn

Our left from right and our right from wrong

And I wonder if they’ll notice that we’re gone

[Chorus]

As we ride on, out past the county line

We got this whole night, no stoplights

To slow us down, we can leave it all behind

And though old days might never slip away

And lines on my face might not fade

I won’t look back as we make this getaway

[Verse 2]

Train light, it keeps me up

I keep on staring out this window

The rain storm is drying out

And showing cracks across the pavement here under setting sun

We gaze out with a clearer view

And we look for signs in nothing

Clouds show a silver moon

Now I know that that means something

[Pre-Chorus]

Gaining speed and with every turn

We hold our breath and we never learn

Our left from right and our right from wrong

And I wonder if they’ll notice that we’re gone

[Chorus]

As we ride on, out past the county line

We got this whole night, no stoplights

To slow us down, we can leave it all behind

And though old days might never slip away

And lines on my face might not fade

I won’t look back as we make this getaway

[Outro]

We don’t owe you a goddamn thing

What you got's all you’re getting, no more from me

I’m done watching the clock inside

Tick away every second ‘til I bleed dry

We’ll get by

We don’t owe a goddamn thing

What you got's all you're getting, no more from me

We’re miles away from all that now

From the early graves, the poison ground

We fly out past Division Street

And I see that you finally fell asleep

Think we just hit our stop
