You’re lying in your bed on a Saturday night
You’re sweating buckets and it’s not even hot
But your brain has got the message and it’s sending it out
To every nerve and every muscle you’ve got
You’ve got so many dreams that you don’t know where to put ‘em
So you better turn a few of them loose
Your body’s got a feeling that it’s starting to rust
You better rev it up and put it to use
And I don’t know how I ever thought that I could make it all alone
When you only make it better and it better be tonight
And we’ll fly away on those angel wings of chrome in your daddy’s car
Waiting there for you tonight
I’ll be there for you tonight
And if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And your speed, it’s all you ever need
And all you ever need to know!
Darling, darling!
You and me we’re goin’ nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
It’s so much better goin’ nowhere fast....
(aah, aah)
Stalking in the shadows by the light of the moon
It’s like a prison and the night is a cell
Going anywhere has got to be Heaven tonight
‘Cause staying here has got to be Hell
You’re dying in the city like a fire on the water
Let’s go running on the back of the wind
There’s gotta be some action on the face of the earth
And I gotta see your face once again
And I don’t know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool
So alone and independent, but I’m depending on you now
You’ll always be the only thing that I just can’t be without
And I’m out for you tonight
I’m coming out for you tonight
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
Even if you don’t have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you’re ready to roll
And your speed, it’s all you ever need
And all you ever need to know!
Darling, darling!
You and me we’re goin’ nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
God speed! God speed!
God speed! Speed us away
God speed! God speed!
God speed! Speed us away!
God speed! God speed!
God speed! Speed us away!
(we’re going nowhere fast)
God speed!
(going nowhere fast)
God speed!
(we’re going nowhere fast)
God speed! Speed us away!
(we’re going nowhere fast)
God speed!
(going nowhere fast)
God speed!
(we’re going nowhere fast)
God speed! Speed us away! [repeat]
Tonight is What It Means to Be Young
I’ve got a dream ‘bout an angel on the beach
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun
I’ve got a dream ‘bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body’s flowing in the jewels of light
And the earth below him starting to shake
But I don’t see any angels in the city
I don’t hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can’t get an angel, I can still get a boy
And a boy’d be the next best thing—the next best thing to an angel
A boy’ll be the next best thing....
I’ve got a dream ‘bout a boy in a castle
And he’s dancing like a cat on the stairs
He’s got the fire of a prince in his eyes
And the thunder of a drum in his ears
I’ve got a dream ‘bout a boy on a star
Lookin’ down upon the rim of the world
He’s there all alone and dreamin’ of someone like me
I’m not an angel but at least I’m a girl
I’ve got a dream when the darkness is over
We’ll be lyin’ in the rings of the sun
But it’s only a dream and tonight is for real
You’ll never know what it means but you’ll know how it feels:
It’s gonna be over
Before you know it’s begun
Ooh, it’s all we really got—tonight!
Stop your cryin’, hold on—tonight!
Before you know it it’s gone—tonight!
Tonight is what it means to be young!
Tonight is what it means to be young!
Let the revels begin, let the fire be started
We’re dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
Let the rebels begin, let the fire be started
We’re dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted
Let the revels begin, let the fire be started
(tonight is what it means to be young…)
We’re dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
(before you know it it’s gone…)
Let the rebels begin, let the fire be started
(tonight is what it means to be young…)
We’re dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted
(before you know it it’s gone…)
Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
No matter what it seems—tonight is what it means to be young
(tonight is what it means to be young)
(before you know it it’s gone)
(tonight is what it means to be young)
(before you know it it’s gone)
(aah, aah, aah)....
I’ve got a dream when the darkness is over

Let the revels begin, let the fire be started

The things they’re saying and then the things they do
Nothin’s gonna stop us if our aim is true
The things they’re saying and then the things they do
Nothin’s gonna stop us if our aim is true.... [repeat to end]
