City traffic's movin' way too slow
Drop the pedal and go
Go
Go

 

We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
Wind's against our backs
We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac
We're goin' ridin' on the freeway of love
Wind's against our backs
Ain't we ridin' on the freeway of love
In my pink Cadillac

...Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and they go
They go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below

Yeah, it happens out in Vegas happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right...

They said it was for the black man
They said it was for the Mexican, and not for the white man
But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King
And this #@!&# up situation and these #@!&# up police
It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' 1-8-7 on a mother#@!&# cop

 

(FTR - like the song, but I always found these lyrics disturbing)

'Cause they're waiting for me
They're looking for me
Every single night they're driving me insane
Those men inside my brain

 

The dream police, they live inside of my head
The dream police, they come to me in my bed
The dream police, they're coming to arrest me

The dream police

You made the mistake and judge a man by his race
You go through life with egg on your face
Woke up in the morning, peculiar feeling
Looked up and saw egg dripping from the ceiling
Family, punk rocks, the businessman
I'll dog everybody with the egg in my hand
Not like the crack that you put in a pipe
But crack on your forehead, here's a towel, now wipe

There ain't nothin' you could ask
I could answer you with "I won't" (I won't)
But I was gonna change, but I'm not
If you keep doin' things I don't (don't)

 

You better think (think)
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
(What you're tryin' to do to me) oh-oh, think (think)
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Did you see your friend, crying from his eyes today? 
Did you see him run through the streets and far way?
Did you see him run? Did you see him fall? 
Did his life flash by on the bedroom door?
Did you hear the news came across the air today?
Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay
Did you see him hide? Did you see him crawl? 
Does his life mean more than it did before
Did you see that man running through the streets today? 
Did you catch his face, was it 10538?

They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

I'm makin' records, my fans they can't wait
They write me letters, tell me I'm great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call

I've never been wrong
But you're the only one I trust to
Show me the way, I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name

What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken and I've been hypnotized
I'm like a prisoner captured by your eyes
I've been taken, I've been hypnotized

If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
But long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say

My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

 

… I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
'Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now

 

Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

Climbing under a barbed wire fence
By the railroad ties
Climbing over the old stone wall
I am bound for the riverside

Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind
Ponder over the crazy days of my life
Just sit and watch the river flow

Find a place on the riverbank
Where the green rushes grow
See the wind in the willow tree
In branches hanging low

Well, I go to the river to soothe my mind
To Ponder over the crazy days in my life
Watch the river flow
Ease my mind and soul
Where I go

Well I will go to the river from time to time
Wander over these crazy days in my mind
Watch the river flow
Where the willow branches grow
By the cool rolling waters
Moving gracefully and slow

Child, it's lovely
Let the river take it all away
The mad pace, the hurry
The troubles, the worries, the worries
Just let the river take them all away
Flow away
Flow away
Oh, oh

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

Coming home after school
Flying my bike past the gates of the factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging out shirts in the dirty breeze
And after it rains there's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagination they lack
Everything's the same back in my little town

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here
