[Verse 1]

Another aimless day

Another useless night

I want peroxide hair

I want some neon light

I got a new life waiting

I can't wait to begin it

The thing that gets me down

Being young in this town

Is there's no future in it


[Verse 2]

I want a fine perfume

A powder blue Corvette

If there's a slower death

Than living here and now

They haven't found it yet

I need a man who knows

What I am really worth

And I don't give a damn

About life after death

But I gotta get some proof

That there's a life after birth


[Chorus 1]

Tire tracks and broken hearts

That's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we're losing

Only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts

Let's get away from the past

So many ways to stay hungry, baby

So many ways to go fast


[Verse 3]

I want a push-up bra

I want some satin sheets

Give me some real rich food

I want some succulent sweets

I want you by my side

You'll be all my own

I don't know what I want

Half the time, but I know

That I don't want to spend

Another minute alone


[Chorus 1]

Tire tracks and broken hearts

That's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we're losing

Only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts

Let's get away from the past

So many ways to stay hungry, baby

So many ways to go fast


[Bridge]

(Do do, da do do, da do do, da down down down)

Those good girls never know what they're missing

But us bad girls almost always do

And what we're missing most are the real good times

I want them bad and I want them now

I was born going faster than the limits allow

I want it bad and I want it now

We were born going faster than the limits allow

Faster than the limits allow

Right here, right now!


[Saxophone Solo]


[Chorus 1]

Tire tracks and broken hearts

That's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we're losing

Only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts

Let's get away from the past

So many ways to stay hungry, baby

So many ways to go fast


[Chorus 2]

I wanna show you what I want you to do

Where and when and how

I want it bad and I want it now

We were born going faster than the limits allow

I wanna show you what I want you to do

Where and when and how

I want it bad and I want it now

We were born going faster than the limits allow


[Chorus 1]

Tire tracks and broken hearts

That's all we're leaving behind

It doesn't matter what we're losing

Only matters what we're going to find

Tire tracks and broken hearts

Let's get away from the past

So many ways to stay hungry, baby

So many ways to go fast
