[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1]
Started my car for a ride without an end
Driving in silence, to see if my wounds would mend
The sound of the streets is buzzing, like hornets in my head
I’m dancing with the tail lights of words you never said
This highway has no rhythm, this desert has no rain
Just a crying noise, hummin' underneath the pain

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was a little peace of mind
But I’m caught up in the loop of what we left behind
It goes up, and then it breaks down (breaks down)
Like a rose growing through this concrete town
Words are very violent; they cut through the wire
Now I’m riding on the freeway through a ring of fire
(ring of fire, ring of fire, ring of fire)

[Instrumental Hook]
[Pedal steel guitar solo mimicking a synth riff]

[Verse 2]
The king is on the radio, singing 'bout the blues
But the beat is getting colder, shaking in my shoes
I feel the acoustic shiver, I hear the artificial cry
Watching all the painted ponies go glittering by
You can’t stay quiet when the engine starts to roar
But I’ve forgotten what I’m even looking for

[Chorus]
Oh, all I ever wanted was a little peace of mind
But I’m caught up in the loop of what we left behind
It goes up, and then it breaks down (Breaks down)
Like a rose growing through the concrete town
Words are very violent, but cunning and wise
Now I’m riding on the freeway through a ring of ice

[Bridge]
(Spoken Word - Deep Voice)
Here in the dark, the ride never ends.
The highs, the lows, the static friends.
Just enjoy the noise.
Just enjoy the noise.

[Guitar Solo]
[Slow build up with swelling synth pads]

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was a little peace of mind
But I’m caught up in the loop of what we left behind
It goes up, and then it breaks down (Breaks down)
Like a rose growing through the concrete town
Words are very violent, you know; they make us aware
That we’re riding on the freeway through a ring of air

[Outro]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just static on the dashboard now.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don’t say a word.
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just enjoy the ride.
Just enjoy this ride.
