Well it's 3a.m. I'm out here driving again Through the wicked winding streets of my world I take a wrong turn break it but I'm too far gone I've got a siren on my tale and that's not the fine I'm looking for I see a stairway so I follow it down Into the belly of a whale Where my secrets echo all around You know me now but to do better than that You've got to follow me Boy I'm trying to show you where I'm at Hey pretty Don't you want to take a ride with me? Through my world Hey pretty Don't you want to kick and slide with me Through my world Well I've got a mind full of wicked desings I've got a non-stop-whole in my head-imagination I can't forget I am a sole architect I built the shadows here I built the growl in the voice I fear You know me now but to do better than that You've got to follow me Boy I'm trying to show you where I'm at Hey pretty Don't you want to take a ride with me? Through my world Hey pretty Don't you want to kick and slide with me Through my world Hey pretty My pretty baby Rock it through my world Hey now Can't you feel me longing Hey now Me (You get the gist of the song now?) Hey pretty don't you want to take a ride with me?
