Start the car Check the mirror Shut the door Slot the gear We leave tonight Ain't nothin' but the stripes Ain't nothin' but the stripes
See the light Be the night Feel the road River rise, synchronize Bleed some more We leave tonight
If I'm uncivilized, child That's okay You're gonna see me light a fire On my days But you don't see me You don't see me You don't see me I can't see you Anymore
If all in vain, I call your name As tho the end was near A slow decay A sad refrain And then I disappear We leave tonight Ain't nothin' but the stripes
As those city lights die I'm on my way You're gonna see me light a fire On my days But you don't need me You don't need me You don't need me I don't need you Anymore
