Nelson It's after midnight in the city of broken dreams Down in the alley, Galileo meets his pack of thieves Over the river by the old hotel There's a big car coming like a bat out of Hell It's the dangerous stranger in his ghostly limousine. You get the feeling that he's running in an endless race Driving through the city like a razor across its face Stops on the corner in a flash of flame He calls to me ('Hey boy, what's your name?') He's the stranger with a danger if you ever get to play his game. I want to go for a ride To see what lies on the other side I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight. I climb right in, like a fool I say I'll go I listen to the messages comin' through his radio Is that my name on channel 9? They say ('You're going away for a long long time') With the dangerous stranger from a station on the other side. I want to go for a ride To see what lies on the other side I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight. The night is black and the stars no longer burn The radio says that we're past the point of no return I scream at the driver but he says ('No way, you shouldn't have come if you didn't want to stay') He's the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time He's the dangerous stranger on a highway to the end of time.
