Gently like a blade The night keeps moving in Turning all the streetlights Into a blood-painted sheet I go walkin' I need some talking Like your father baby Needs your pills An you make me move An you let me up Let me down Let me cruising all around The bad roads Gently like the night The knife keeps moving in Releasing all the angels out Of the bopper machine I go walking I need no talking I'm a red rat Living in a black'n'white world
And you make me move And you let me up Let me down Get me cruising all around The bad roads Oohh baby can't you see what's following me Making all those white lights Shine on me I go walking I need no talking Now I' m getting ready For the longest ride of them all An' you make me move An' you let me up Let me down Let me cruising all around The bad roads There's a roadkill on highway 13, baby
