Sleepy town ain't got the guts to budge

Baby, this emptiness has already been judged

I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got



You're a strange part of me, you're a preacher's girl

And I don't want no piece of this mechanical world

Got my arms open wide and my blood is running hot



We'll take the midnight road right to the devil's door

And even the white angels of Eden with their flamin' swords

Won't be able to stop us from hitting town in this dirty old Ford



Well it don't take no nerve when you got nothing to guard

I got tombstones in my eyes and I'm running real hard

My baby was a lover and the world just blew her away



Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right outta my head

But baby they didn't know that I was born dead

I am the iceman, fighting for the right to live

I say better than the glory roads of heaven better off riding

Hellbound in the dirt, better than the bright lines of the freeway

Better than the shadows of your daddy's church

Better than the waiting, baby better off is the search
