This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.
Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around.
Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you’re trying to say on stage... Success makes life easier. It doesn’t make living easier.
We're here to re-dedicate you to The Power, The Passion, The Mystery, and The Ministry of Rock and Roll.
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night.
Oh, come take my handRiding out tonight to case the Promised Land
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair.Well the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere.We've got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels.Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks.
And in the lonely cool before dawn, you hear their engines roaring on.But when you get to the porch they're goneOn the wind, so Mary climb in.It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win.
Remember all the movies, Terry that we'd go see?Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to beAnd after all this time we find we're just like all the restStranded in the park and forced to confessTo hiding on the Backstreets.
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive.Everybody's out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide.Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness.I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.Someday, girl, I don't know when,We're gonna get to that place where we really want to go,And we'll walk in the sun,But till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
