2ND VERSE:   (played same as 1st Verse)

And I ran into Tony Pony, what a goddam phony
Had a new fish on the line
Well, the last one left with the last bad cheque
The only good one that he ever had died
I gotta live and let live, I gotta learn to forgive
You know that everybody's got a right
But there's evil all around in this broken down city
It's a twenty-four hour fight

(...on a wheel and I don't know, don't know, don't know why)

3RD VERSE:   (played same as 1st Verse)

So let's me and you go get a new tatoo
We can hop on our Harley and cruise
We can start at the pier and share a beer
Head out to the desert, I can feel it from here
Ride all the way to where the lizards play
Riding on and on and on
There's a million stars, it'll blow you away
It's all so concrete blonde, now
Still in
