lyrics

Well it starts like this
You're not like the other guests
You're a rainbow
I could see it from the time
I saw you in that dress
Well, Shame's let up
We've come so far
We were angels
Making deals with
Perfect strangers
In the backseat of some car

So tell me
You burned a little shining gold
Our skin could never feel the cold
lets turn this record over so
we can escape
We're young
Not concerned of where we'll land
Or if we'll ever come down
Leave the earth to wonder what became
Of two wild nobodys hell-bent for making it
Where they are
Oh! Where they've been
Imagine what they'd say
It carried them away
In the middle of the night
With out a site
Two wild nobodys hell-bent for leaving this tar pit town

Baby lets burn it down

Oh you're not like me
But we see each other's symmetry
Casting prayers
Soaking wet with
Thrilling dangers
I could be your highway queen
So lets go now
Before they know we're not at home
Let them wonder
Flip the rock
That they've been under
It'll do them good to know

So tell me

Spinning wheels on sinking sands
Wont do us good
No matter how we paint it
It's misunderstood
I'm the chain-link messenger
And you're that wrecking ball
One swing will take them all down
Screw this town
Baby lets burn it down
