Song Lyrics

What a crazy night
Wine and smoke filled my head with dreams
You so near
I saw your hands and finger everywhere

Now darling if you're feeling afraid
Don't ask me where I'm taking you
Do you hear? Do you feel the forest around you?
I know it's dangerous in the backlands alone
Just let me tell you what to do
Do you see? Do you know that it's a good thing I found you?

Six o'clock
And the highway fills up with a thousand cars
Close your eyes
Yes I do believe that you are real
Together we could break through the wall
And drive through at the speed of sound

It's okay, their rays will pass through you
The radar won't pick up a thing
Down in the caverns underground
It's alright, very soon we will be free.

[Chorus:]
Yes we're going to run away,
Run away to the Fortress of Solitude
It's okay, everything is life-size
We're going to run away
Run away to the Fortress of Solitude,
Build a new world of hate and love...

The sun goes down
Lighting up the dark New Jersey hills
Oh my love
I will be here 'til the end of time
The bombing has begun by now
The city's going down in flames
You must be strong in this weather.

The old world's at the edge of the sea
About to slide into the freezing waves
At least if we die, we're together.

[Chorus]
