The streetlights are shattered, the river is bone dry. There's nothing left to do in this town but wait to die. We’ve been praying for a savior to relive the pain, But the only thing coming is a midnight train. [verse] I got a full tank of gas and a fever in my soul! I’m breaking every chain and I’m escaping all control! So grab your leather jacket and leave your keys in the door, We’re never coming back to this graveyard anymore! [chorus] So hold on tight, we’re riding on the thunder! Tearing up the highway in the middle of the dark! Let the heavens open up and pull us asunder! We’ll strike a match and let the engine spark! Out of the shadows, and straight through the fire! Riding on the wings of a demon called desire! [verse] The wind is screaming like a wounded beast! Turn your eyes away from the dying east! Wrap your arms around me and don't let go, We’re outrunning the devil on the valley below! If we crash in the canyon, if we burst into flame, At least they’re gonna know that we didn't die tame! [chorus] So hold on tight, we’re riding on the thunder! Tearing up the highway in the middle of the dark! Let the heavens open up and pull us under! We’ll strike a match and let the engine spark! Out of the shadows, and straight through the fire! Riding on the wings of our own desire! [drop] [bridge] (Male) "Will you ride with me to the edge of the world? Into the blackest night?" (Female) "I'd ride with you straight into the fires of hell!" (Male) "And will you love me until the stars fall from the sky?!" (Female) "I will love you until the end of time itself!" (Together, screaming) "THEN LET IT RIDE!" [instrumental break] [chorus] (Male) Hold on tight, we’re riding on the thunder! (Female) Tearing up the highway in the middle of the dark! (Together) Let the heavens open up and pull us under! We’ll strike a match and let the engine spark! [outro] Straight through the fire! Straight through the flame! [final]
