The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was born on the highway

In a trainwreck

With a heart

That was beating outta my chest

So now I follow it around the world

I can't keep up

If I don't get it soon

I know I'll bleed until I drop

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cus I want it all

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cus I want it all

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

There's a darkness and a hollow on the highway

Every cross on the roadside tells a story

So now I follow it around the world

I can't keep up

The story never ends as long as we have

Blood and guts

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cus I want it all

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

'Cus I want it all

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

It ran off the track,

On nineteen seventy nine

While the immigrants slept

There wasn't much time

The mayor came callin'

And got'em outta bed

They packed up their families

And headed up wind

A poison cloud a flaming sky

Two hundred thousand people and no one died

And all before the pocket dial

Yeah!

I keep searchin' and searchin'

I keep searchin' and searchin'

Now I'm stranded

Tied to the tracks

There's no hero

There's no villiain

There's nobody I can blame

The story's still the same

I'm never satisfied

It's a problem with my brain

I keep searchin' and searchin'

I keep searchin' and searchin'

'Cus I want it all

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I can't get enough (oh, oh, oh, oh)
