The Night Will Keep Us Warm

The moon is bright, the night is clear

The beads are swaying above the wheel

The flares expand to circles of red, orange & gold

The night is deep, deeper than both of us

It spills with promise and disaster

Drive a little faster, 'cause I can't wait for what is waiting for us

The smell of cigarettes on your leather jacket

All you need stashed in your pocket

The car is flying under a mess of wires like a rocket

Baby it won't be long till the rest of the world catches on

A thousand miles an hour, the night will keep us warm

Until the dawn, I'll be hanging on, until the end of the song

And the hell we'll raise is an after-thought

We won't think much about getting caught

Now it's ourselves we face, so let the tape replay

On the car stereo until it decays...

Baby it won't be long till the rest of the world catches on

A thousand miles an hour, the night will keep us warm

Until the dawn, I'll be hanging on, until the end of the song

The moon is bright, the night is clear

The beads are swaying above the wheel

The flares expand, my hand in your hand, our story untold
