Saturday They'll All Be Back Again

Johnny's out, cruising down the fast food strip He rides the high-wheeler Ford He's down here every evening since the school let out An ordinary man would be bored Johnny's got the hunger of a high school heart And a tank full of minimum-wage So it's six lights down, six lights back Pacing like a lion in a cage He's running on a tether Tearing at the ground Trying to find a way to break the chain This howling in the distance It's a captivating sound Can't tell if it's ecstasy or pain Saturday they'll all be back again All those engines pulling all night long Still makes a slow moving train They can scream out their freedom When the light turns green But they're bound to come 'round again Standing at a distance there's the dark haired girl Johnny doesn't know her name He howls his engine like a big, black dog Choking on his collar by his chain It's lonely, like hunger Driven to the same old place Rumble like thunder Don't you think that Angels hear The passion of this human race? Running on a tether, tearing at the ground Trying to find a way to break the chain This howling in the distance It's a captivating sound Can't tell if it's ecstasy or pain Saturday they'll all be back again Saturday they'll all be back again
