  • Hold my head like a live wire
    Duck quick now, I hear gunfire
    Caught somewhere in the space between
    Do you love me and do you love me?
    Everything is advancing
    I love to see you out dancing
    There's women up in the mountains
    We could be up there if we could get up there
    Say goodbye to America
    I wanna see it dissolve
    I can be your poster boy for the great American fall
    Now I'm out and I'm prowling
    You make me wanna start growling
    You will live forever as this bombshell in my mind

    I know that it's dangerous, but I wanna see you undress
    Wrap you up in the bomb shelter of my feather bed
    Eileen, I must be living twice
    Colossus of roads, Buz blur in the night
    Cowboy hat and a cigarette
    Grease marker in my leather vest
    Let's go paint the oil cans
    Write our names on a grain of sand
    No one will remember us like I will remember us
    Meet me down in the Castro, we'll pretend it's 1985
    Before we were a twinkle in our great-grandfather's eyes

    Children forever
    In the end
    Of the night, baby, of the night
    Of the night, baby, of the night
    In the night, baby, in the night
    In the night, baby, in the night Writer/s: Alynda Segarra
