We're riding down the boulevard We're riding into the dark night, night With half the tank and empty heart Pretending we're in love, when it's never enough As the silence filled the lonely air Oh, they can hear now now now baby We see a storm is closing in Pretending we're escaping Don't say a word while we danced with the devil You brought the fire to a world so cold We're out of time on the highway to never Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on) Don't say a word while we danced with the devil You brought the fire to a world so cold We're out of time on the highway to never Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on) We're running all the red lights down No way that we can stop, no no A quarter tank is almost gone, Pretending we're in love, when it's never enough I wish we could take it back in time Before we crossed the line, no now now, baby We see a storm is closing in I reach out for your hand Don't say a word while we danced with the devil You brought the fire to a world so cold We're out of time on the highway to never Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on) Don't say a word while we danced with the devil You brought the fire to a world so cold We're out of time on the highway to never Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on) Oh oh, hold on, oh yeah, hold on Don't say a word while we danced with the devil You brought the fire to a world so cold We're out of time on the highway to never Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on), hold on Don't say a word while we danced with the devil You brought the fire to a world so cold We're out of time on the highway to never Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)
