  • We used to ride, baby
    Ride around in limousines
    We looked so fine, baby
    You in white and me in green
    Drinking and dancing
    All inside a crazy dream
    Well now, look at your face now, baby
    Look at you and look at me

    I get so scared
    Just to see you on the street
    They're living dead
    You're all the same, you never speak
    You're wrecked out now
    Washed-up high up on the beach
    Well now, look at your face now, baby
    Look at you and look at me

    Work to it

    We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
    Say what a pair, say what a team
    We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
    In a long black limousine
    Those dreams are gone, baby
    They're locked away and never seen
    Well now, look at your face now, baby
    Look at you and look at me

    Look out, yeah Writer/s: Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Ron Wood
