[Intro — distant mixed harmonies] Ahh-ahh-ahh… Wild angels… Ahh-ahh-ahh… Come down tonight… [Riff — full band] [Verse 1 — Male] Blacktop burning underneath our wheels Midnight running with the windows down Five young hearts and a tank of gasoline Looking for heaven on the edge of town Leather and salt underneath the lights Ocean wind coming off the bay She leaned over with a dangerous smile Said, “If we’re leaving, let’s leave today” [Pre-Chorus — Female] Don’t tell me where this road will end Don’t tell me who I’m supposed to be [Male] There’s a whole world sleeping behind us [Both] And tonight we’re finally free [Chorus — Both + huge harmony stack] Wild angels Running where the ocean meets the night Wild angels Hearts on fire underneath the satellite lights No destination No salvation Nothing but the road beneath our feet Wild angels If heaven wants us Heaven’s gonna have to catch us in the street [Post-Chorus] (Whoa-oh-oh) Wild angels (Ahh-ahh-ahh) Born to disappear [Verse 2 — Female] Chrome moon hanging over Highway One Your reflection dancing in my shades Every little town was sleeping tight While we were busy throwing years away [Male response] (Don’t slow down) (Don’t turn around) [Female] I knew the dawn would find us eventually But dawn was still a hundred miles away [Pre-Chorus — Male] Don’t ask me what we’re running from [Female] Maybe we’re running toward the same thing [Both] There’s a line of gold across the water And we wanna see what morning brings [Chorus — Both] Wild angels Running where the ocean meets the night Wild angels Hearts on fire underneath the satellite lights No destination No salvation Nothing but the road beneath our feet Wild angels If heaven wants us Heaven’s gonna have to catch us in the street [Heavy Breakdown — Male/Female call and response] Male: Turn it up! Female: Louder! Male: Kill the lights! Female: Faster! Male: One more mile! Female: One more night! Both: We ain’t going home until we see the other side! [Guitar Solo — long, melodic] [A Cappella Interlude — mixed 5-part harmony] Where do the wild ones go When the summer’s gone? Where do the wild hearts go When the night moves on? (Ooh, carry on) (Carry on) Somewhere the sun Is always coming up [Bridge — Male, restrained] Years from now when the nights get cold Will you remember who we were? [Female] I’ll remember every reckless mile But I won’t remember where [Both — building] We were looking for something We couldn’t name Maybe paradise Maybe escape [Harmony stack] Maybe they’re the same… [Final Chorus — huge] Wild angels Running where the ocean meets the night Wild angels Still believing everything will be alright No destination No explanation Nothing but forever underneath our feet Wild angels If heaven wants us Heaven’s gonna have to catch us in the street [Outro — overlapping vocals] (Wild angels) Don’t slow down (Wild angels) Don’t turn around (Higher, higher) Morning’s coming (Further, further) Keep on running [Both] Somewhere west of forever We’ll be young forevermore [A cappella harmony] Wild angels…
