Colossus of Roads

Hold my head like a live wire
Duck quick now I hear gunfire
Caught somewhere in the space between
Do you love me and do you love me?
Everything is advancing
I love to see you out dancing
There's women up in the mountains
We could be up there if we could get up there
Say goodbye to America
I wanna see it dissolve
I can be your poster boy for the great American fall
Now I'm out and I'm prowling
You make me wanna start growling
You will live forever as this bombshell in my mind

I know that it's dangerous
But I wanna see you undress
Wrap you up in the bomb shelter of my feather bed
Eileen, I must be living twice
Colossus of roads, Buz blur in the night
Cowboy hat and a cigarette
Grease marker in my leather vest
Let's go paint the oil cans
Write our names on a grain of sand
No one will remember us
Like I will remember us
Meet me down in the Castro
We'll pretend it's 1985
Before we were a twinkle in our great grandfather's eyes

Children forever
In the end
Of the night, baby
Of the night
Of the night, baby
Of the night
In the night, baby
In the night
In the night, baby
In the night
