YOU CAME DOWN

A TWISTED UP ROAD

YOU'VE BEEN TRAVELING

FOR LIGHT YEARS



YOU GOT HERE THE SAME TIME



THOSE TEARS FOUND THEIR WAY



DOWN YOUR FACE

I FOUGHT WITH THE LAWS TOOTH AND NAIL

AND I TRAVELED BY NIGHT, DEAR



YOU'RE A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER THE PLACE



UP WHERE THE ANGELS SIGH

DOWN WHERE THE DREAMS GET SMASHED ON THE ROCKS

YOU AND I



WAIT TO BEGIN AGAIN

LIFTED ABOVE BY A LOVE

THAT DOES NOT END



[Chorus:]

I'M ALRIGHT TONIGHT

I'M ALRIGHT



YOU'RE ALRIGHT TONIGHT

YOU'RE ALRIGHT



WE'RE ALRIGHT TONIGHT

IT'S ALRIGHT TONIGHT



YOU PICKED UP SOME PIECES OF LIGHT

AS YOU BROKE THROUGH THE SPEED OF SOUND



I WAS ROCKIN' AROUND IN MY OWN TWO-DIMENSIONAL WAY



NOW WHEN I HEAR THAT JET ENGINE BLOW

THEN I KNOW YOU ARE LEAVING TOWN



BABY, I'D FOLLOW YOU TO THE EDGE OF IT ALL, ANYWAY



UP WHERE THE KINGDOM COMES

DOWN WHERE THE STREETS TAKE THE BREATH OF ANOTHER YOUNG GUN

LOVE IS A WHISPERED PRAYER

SHOT LIKE A SPARK THROUGH THE HEART

OF DARK DESPAIR



[Chorus]



I DON'T REGRET ANY NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD INDISCRETIONS

I CAN STILL FIT BOTH MY FEET IN MY MOUTH, ANYWAY

BUT THESE DAYS I'M JUST NOT AS WILLING TO NURSE THE OBSESSION

(NO NO NO)



IF THE DOC SAYS IT'S GOT TO COME OUT

THEN I'M HAPPY TO PAY



[Chorus x2]
