How We Drove

With the dark locked to the horizon
And the people all asleep
We took to the night to raise havoc
We took from the night all it had of
The deserted shadow streets
We were in charge
We wrote all the rules:
You couldn't tell us
To behave ourselves
Behind the wheel
With speed in our hearts
Seeking the certainty
Of oblivion
With life locked to the horizon
And childhood receding behind
We died in our lives raising havoc
As the shadows recede
Here's one and a half;
We'll rewrite the rules
You cannot make us
Abandon
The speed in our hearts
Extinguish the sparks
We need the certainty
Of oblivion
