Broke the winter's back And split for the Sun Shot through the night from a frozen gun With my eyes to the skies And one foot to the ground I really gotta go ...Away It's a rough n' tumble come down at the break of day Sitting here staring out across the bay With that sunrise in your eyes There's never really too much to say But I really gotta go ...Away 'Cause heartbreaks are uncurable And I'm up all night Stone-faced in New York City Trying to set things right She talks with her hands and she's saying goodbye Nobody's gonna' tell me why They just say time, time heals all But I don't believe them 'Cause heartbreaks are uncurable And I'm up all night Stone-faced in New York City Trying to set things right Now time rolls on religiously, swift and sly Bullet train full of souls riding through the night
Everyone thinks they can slow it down I used to be like that before I knew you There ain't nothing as dead as a dead romance Nothing more alive than the city tonight Storefront windows reflecting me Where my steel cut heart can feel the electricity Look at me now, whose gonna take me there From this lighting and the thunder and you, the eighth wonder She talks with her hands and she's saying goodbye Nobody's gonna' tell me why They just say time, time heals all But I don't, I don't, I don't believe them 'Cause heartbreaks are uncurable And I'm up all night Stone-faced in New York City Trying to set things right (repeat) Look at me now, whose gonna take me there From this lighting and the thunder and you, the eighth wonder She sang rock n' roll with the devil
