Colossus of Roads

Hold my head like a live wire

Duck quick now, I hear gunfire

Caught somewhere in the space between

Do you love me and do you love me?

Everything is advancing

I love to see you out dancing

There's women up in the mountains

We could be up there if we could get up there

Say goodbye to America

I wanna see it dissolve

I can be your poster boy for the great American fall

Now I'm out and I'm prowling

You make me wanna start growling

You will live forever as this bombshell in my mind

I know that it's dangerous, but I wanna see you undress

Wrap you up in the bomb shelter of my feather bed

Eileen, I must be living twice

Colossus of roads, buZ blurr in the night

Cowboy hat and a cigarette

Grease marker in my leather vest

Let's go paint the oil cans

Write our names on a grain of sand

No one will remember us like I will remember us

Meet me down in the Castro, we'll pretend it's 1985

Before we were a twinkle in our great grandfather's eyes

Children forever

In the end

Of the night, baby, of the night

Of the night, baby, of the night

In the night, baby, in the night

In the night, baby, in the night
