from How Did You Find Me Here?
..............................................
Johnny`s out cruising down the fast food strip
He rides the high-wheeler Ford
He`s down here every evening since the school let out
An ordinary man would be bored.
Johnny`s got the hunger of a high school heart
And a tank full of minimum-wage
So its six lights down, six lights back
Pacing like a lion in a cage
Chorus
He`s running on a tether
Tearing at the ground
Trying to find a way to break the chain
This howling in the distance
Its a captivating sound
Can`t tell if its ecstasy or pain
Saturday they`ll all be back again
All those engines pulling all night long
Still makes a slow moving train
They can scream out their freedom
When the light turns green
But they`re bound to come `round again
Standing at a distance there`s the dark haired girl
Johnny doesn`t know her name
He howls his engine like a big, black dog
Choking on his collar by his chain
Its lonely, like hunger
Driven to the same old place
Rumble like thunder
Don`t you think that Angels hear
The passion of this Human Race
Chorus
Saturday They`ll All Be Back Again
