Southbound through the burbs to hit the roads in southern jers The drinks kick in, Closing after tonight out of my mind Guard rails, mile markers, not a damn thing in sight Until those lights appear Let's start the night With the painting of the sky so dark I'm coming down to you It's like in an exposition shot from a movie
The music, the scenery, It's all edited and done Now everything falls right in place I said everything falls right into place The stars take a front seat over the sun And with the painting Of the sky so dark A blackout curtain that's draped over my mind Now that you're with me, you set me free
