[Verse 1] Around the alley, waiting for me Set the dial to the radio free That intelligent band on the run Pick them up with the sound of your guns [Pre-Chorus] Call him into the white of the eyes Watch him dance when he kicked you aside Chat her up in a forbidden tone I got you now, with your heart in the hand [Chorus] A ritual, the words creep out Like a ghost, the heart sinks down An animal with teeth, reach out Holding on, we're coming up strong again We dance like bullets in the wind Over and over again, over and over again Bringing life back from the dead Keeping the captain alive Over and over we go, over and over we go So turn up the transistor radio [Verse 2] Drama, trouble, give me some more Cutting deep, going down to the core Great Scott, the kids in the rain They come together, with the sound of a train [Pre-Chorus] Shut them up, with a four letter word Bite your thumb, the car's going to swerve Sound and color, the crowd, city lights Hurry up, this kid's in a fight [Chorus] A ritual, the words creep out Like a ghost, the heart sinks down An animal with teeth, reach out Holding on, we're coming up strong again We dance like bullets in the wind Over and over again, over and over again Bringing life back from the dead Keeping the captain alive Over and over we go, over and over we go So turn up the transistor radio [Verse 3] Pick up the beat and drive up with caskets And call in the ma**es, and turn up the song Shuffle the beat, and mix with the blackness Rise up from the ashes, they're dancing along [Chorus] A ritual, the words creep out Like a ghost, the heart sinks down An animal with teeth, reach out Holding on, we're coming up strong again We dance like bullets in the wind Over and over again, over and over again Bringing life back from the dead Keeping the captain alive Over and over we go, over and over we go So turn up the transistor radio
