Sleepy town ain't got the guts to budge 

Baby this emptiness has already been judged 

I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got 

You're a strange part of me you're a preacher's girl 

And I don't want no piece of this mechanical world 

Got my arms open wide and my blood is running hot 

 

We'll take the midnight road right to the devil's door 

And even the white angels of Eden with their flaming swords 

Won't be able to stop us from hitting town in this dirty old Ford 

Well it don't take no nerve when you got nothing to guard 

I got tombstone in my eyes and I'm running real hard 

My baby was a lover and the world just blew her away 

 

Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right out of my head 

Well baby they didn't know that I was born dead 

I am the iceman, fighting for the right to live 

I say better than the glory roads of heaven 

Better off riding hell-bound in the dirt 

Better than bright line of the freeway 

Better than the shadows of your daddy's church 

Better than the hands of waiting (?) 

Baby better off is the search
