She's a small town girl with no room to grow 
And he's a reckless boy with no where to go 
They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly 
So he parks the car and she holds him tight 
 
Chorus 
And they rage on some how searching for the answers 
In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone 
They rage on 
 
On the same dark night two more people meet 
In a rented room on a cross town street 
And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams 
But for a while they feel like they used to feel 
 
Chorus 

And they rage on 
Against the lives that this world gave them 
Hoping something's there to save them 
They rage on rage on 
 
And they rage on 
Against the lives that this world gave them 
Hoping something's there to save them 
They rage on rage on 
 
And somewhere between right and wrong 
In the grey between dusk and dawn 
They tell themselves they're not alone 
Cause they rage on 
 
Chorus 

And they rage on some how searching for the answers 
In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone 
They rage on 

They rage on 
Against the lives that this life gave them 
Hoping something's there to save them 
They rage on they rage on
