• Off into the night down the streets of the odd and the mad and lose myself under the street lights. Nothing but a book in my hand, the bag on my back, the music bubbling in my ears. I'll follow a star, any star, The star. I'll take it west, ya know? The west is the best. I'll ride it west.

    We'll meet in the moonlight babe, just you and me, Nothing but a small amount of money. We'll take the train, to where ever it be goin', We'll dance with the fireflies in the midst of night, where the souls of the sleeping pass over our heads. We'll laugh, in the silence and dream in the dark. Of places we'll be and the things we are...

    We'll talk to the strange, the poor and the mad, we'll run through the fields, never look back.
    I'll steal the moon and keep it safe, Here in my pocket for us to ponder, The sun comes up and loses its way, for i have the moon, it was saved. The sun will fall to another night we'll throw it back up to the stars so bright. I got the moment in the soul, Can you feel it babe? Almost home. "Where's home?" "No where, thats home. The world is our home for we can't leave it. Were stuck here." I'll take your hand, fall back against the grass, Not knowing where we are, but knowing this is where it should be. It wont matter, Your still here, through all the misconceptions of what is real. I'll leave a kiss, a long soft kiss against the lips of my beloved. We'll watch the stars together, and plot our destruction of the sun. The burning reminder of a new day, the morning brings nothing but polished shackles. They'll step out of their beds and onto the floor where the pigs in uniform slap them on. We will hide away, in the day. They'll search for us but we cant be found. No babe, were through the doors. We broke on through long before....

    We'll hitchhike till dawn, Rest our heads while on the road. I'll stare out the window at the world that pasts by, You'll make talk with the driver, We'll be living, ALIVE. We'll ride it west. His car got no gas, but we keep on moving west, our feet take us there. There are robbers on the streets. This aint no village, this aint no city street. This is the love beat, And we'll sing: "The East got nothin' but a little bit of soul, Not alot of heartbeat and a hell alot of cold. And where leavin' here. Hell, Where leavin' here." We'll take it so far back. We got no home, We got no family, We got no jobs no money and no past. I'll steal the souls, We'll sell them to street preformers. Watch the people, they're going insane, Feelin it to, the night cracks down on the ones hanging on.
    You'll guide me down the alley streets, the hungry cats hiss as we pass, You'll take me down past the crowd huddled together singing the blues under the stars. The Neon signs will glow. "They'll burn your eyes, they'll burn your soul."

    The people will walk by, we smile. we wonder what our families are doing. Running around town, calling out our names. They ask the stoners at midnight. They crave some more. They are Green leaf vampires.

    You take me to this run down room, the lightbulbs flicker, snap and burn out. We got nothing but our souls to light the way.

    You'll hold me tight, that rooms filled with energy. Nothing of ours, but more of those that have been their. They come and go like the ocean tide from that room. They leave their arrogance stuck to the walls. We'll make love. This night goes long. It passes day, it passes dawn. We'll get close babe, real close, we'll leave kisses down each others necks. wreckless love. We will lay their for hours, the cars will drive by and leave ghost shapes on the walls from the lights. "What will we do when we get their?" You'll ask and break the silence. "We'll find another direction. Is their really a destination?" Here comes the sun. We'll sleep the day away.

    Its raining, We go out, the lights seem more far out. We hold hands, tightly grasped. We walk forever, soaked to the bone. Its storming now, we huddle from the clouds. they make like gods in the sky, But we smile. We know what were doing, we know what we got, Nothing but each other. I love it like that. We'll change clothes, we'll steal some at the thrift. I dig this. The rain stops, Its quiet now. 2 am and not a sound. The animals are away, their afraid. We get some food at a small town diner, they stare and ponder. We leave the money on the table, thats the last of it. You got a dollar left i got two. We got a pack of cigarettes, we smoke together on the side of the road. They pass us without a second thought. I think about the drivers, Where their going. In such a hurry. Life doesnt move fast by the peddle your pushin. I take a drag and cough, you laugh. We'll find humor in the little things and be serious in the big picture. Its all a game though, Nothing but monopoly. You and the road got a bet goin on. A car pulls off to the side, We get in. Its a kid like ourselves, He drives us to the end of the world and drops us off, Right in the midst of the cool summer night air. We made it to a place, Check it off, were safe. Lets make some money and walk the streets. We can sit by the ocean at night. Sleep on the sand, Hand in hand. Nothing going to break it, Not even the strongest man. You whisper your love. I smile and kiss you. I fall asleep and you carry me back to the small room we got. This card had more money then i thought. Were not done though, this story keeps rollin, Were living the life of the free. Its hard sometimes but babe its just you and me. We got no shackles, We'll be who we be.


    The east got nothing but a little bit of soul
    Not alot of Heartbeat
    A hell alot of cold

    And where leavin here
