Comes and goes Like in fits and dizzy spells, like the weather And it blows Like it knows what's going wrong, like it's clever Has a name Oh, but the name goes unspoken Weather wanes Oh, were all twisted and broken So soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on Flailing to the whir of a snack machine Muted screams of an old regime And then, oh, something gets in it The nightshade gets in it And we were all fast asleep We were all so fast asleep But you woke us You woke us from the strangest dream That an aubergine could ever know Would ever know, would ever know Lava flows over crooks And craggy cliffs to the ocean And explodes in a steam heat Fevered cyclical motion Has a name (It has a name) But the name goes unspoken (It goes unspoken) It's in vain 'Cause the language is broken So cast your own, cast your own Cast your own, yeah (Soldier on) Soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on Soldier on, soldier on

I'm digging through the glove box I thought I had a map in here The driver's door doesn't lock I bought the car my junior year There's candy in my backpack And you can pick our soundtrack We're heading for the East Coast tonight So pack your bags and hold on tight 'Cause we're taking off We're taking off Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Feet up on the dashboard We're driving with the windows down Did you forget your phone cord? We'll buy one in the next small town Get dinner at an IHOP A shower at a truck stop We'll listen to some Johnny Cash Take my hand and don't look back 'Cause we're moving on We're moving on Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Run away Run away Run away Run away Run away with me We're on the way to New York City Take my hand and see Manhattan never looked so pretty Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me Stroll the midtown streets And tell me that you don't feel giddy Lady Liberty Ain't throwing us a wink or is she? Travel light and see the world right You'll never know if you never go so Run away with me And say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City Say hello to New York City

Street fights all the time I take a chance into the night I've got to hear the thunder Night life dies hard Keeps me on my guard It's like a spell I'm under Cause I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city You can find me on the streets Feel my heat Dead heat makes me blind You might think I'm a rebel kind There ain't no way I'm gun shy Dizzy blonde out of reach All my stuff on the asphalt beach I know you think I'm crazy Cause I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city I'm runnin' between the sheets Oh! City (City) City (City) City (City) Oh sit Cause I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city I'm runnin' between the sheets I'm runnin' city to city And all points in between I'm movin' city to city I'm runnin' between the sheets On the streets (On the street) Feel the heat (Feel the heat) City Hey!
