I never thought I would write these words... But here they are That home loan, it fell through, went south in a flash Couldn't scrape together the cash, not even a stash That minimum amount, we just couldn't make it rise Some of that savin's, it up and vanished, like tears in your eyes Hold on tight, eyes closed, as we floor it and fly Kids are sleepin' in the back, beneath a starless sky Nothin' lights our way, just the black road ahead This last turn's comin', the one that leads to the dead The black road ahead You can keep this cruel ol' world, this bitter ground We're done fightin', worn out, run down Go on and forget us, wipe our names away If we didn't pay enough, that's the price we gotta pay Ain't it ever enough, what they take from our hands? Maybe soon they'll be chargin' us for the air that we breathe, makin' demands Someone really thinks this is all life's about, a debt to be paid But we're breakin' free from this game, ain't gonna be played Hold on tight, eyes closed, as we floor it and fly Kids are sleepin' in the back, beneath a starless sky Nothin' lights our way, just the black road ahead This last turn's comin', the one that leads to the dead The black road ahead You can keep this cruel ol' world, this bitter ground We're done fightin', worn out, run down Go on and forget us, wipe our names away If we didn't pay enough, that's the price we gotta pay We did it all wrong, or maybe there ain't no right way at all Somethin' just made these walls crumble and fall Now there's nothin' but emptiness, a hollow feelin' deep inside When you lose in this game of life, there's nowhere to hide Nowhere to hide Hold on tight, eyes closed, as we floor it and fly Kids are sleepin' in the back, beneath a starless sky Starless sky Nothin' lights our way, just the black road ahead This last turn's comin', the one that leads to the dead To the dead On the black road ahead The black road ahead You can keep this cruel ol' world, this bitter ground We're done fightin', worn out, run down Go on and forget us, wipe our names away If we didn't pay enough, that's the price we gotta pay You can keep this cruel ol' world, this bitter ground We're done fightin', worn out, run down Go on and forget us, wipe our names away If we didn't pay enough, that's the price we gotta pay You can keep this cruel ol' world, this bitter ground We're done fightin', worn out, run down Go on and forget us, wipe our names away If we didn't pay enough, that's the price we gotta pay Hold on tight, eyes closed, as we floor it and fly Kids are sleepin' in the back, beneath a starless sky Nothin' lights our way, just the black road ahead This last turn's comin', the one that leads to the dead You can keep this cruel ol' world, this bitter ground We're done fightin', worn out, run down Go on and forget us, wipe our names away If we didn't pay enough, that's the price we gotta pay [End] [Outro] Hold on tight, eyes closed, as we floor it and fly Kids are sleepin' in the back, beneath a starless sky Nothin' lights our way, just the black road ahead This last turn's comin', the one that leads to the dead [End] Hold on tight, eyes closed, as we floor it and fly Kids are sleepin' in the back, beneath a starless sky Nothin' lights our way, just the black road ahead This last turn's comin', the one that leads to the dead [Fade out]
