There's a wild wind blowing, Down the corner of my street Every night there the headlights are glowing There's a cold war coming, On the radio I heard Baby it's a violent world Oh love don't let me go Won't you take me where the streetlights glow I could hear it coming I could hear the sirens sound Now my feet won't touch the ground Time came a creepin' Oh and time's a loaded gun Every road is a ray of light It goes on Time only can lead you on Still it's such a beautiful night Oh love don't let me go Won't you take me where the streetlights glow I could hear it coming Like a serenade of sound Now my feet won't touch the ground Gravity release me, And don't ever hold me down Now my feet won't touch the ground.
