Flying down the highway like a bat out of hell

My buddy Bradley's in the middle, he's lookin' out the window

We just got high and hopin' no one could tell

But with the icky and the sticky it don't matter where the wind blows

Lighter in my hand and I got nothing to burn

Except a little turpentine inside of those five paint cans

Pick up a shotgun and we'll all take turns

But don't you ever say a word, 'cause you know momma's gonna hate that

The dice that we've been rollin'

Where our lives are bitter stolen

When you're walking through the fire for fun

Tidal wave in motion

You can't hide from the explosion

In 3, 2, 1

We're smokin' dynamite

Too many fuses to light

(Our kingdom come, on the run)

Gonna steal, beg and borrow

A thousand Fahrenheits

And we're about to ignite

(So keep the throttle to the bottom)

We may never see tomorrow

If tonight's our time to go, the one thing I know

We'll need a coin for the ferryman

Leave us a coin for the ferryman

Countin' every nickel, dime and five dollar bill

So we've been stealin' gasoline and laying low out on the backroads

The city lights are glowin' over the hill

And we can make it, but we take the chance of never coming back home

The dice that we've been rollin'

Where our lives are bitter stolen

When you're walking through the fire for fun

Tidal wave in motion

You can't hide from the explosion

In 3, 2, 1

We're smokin' dynamite

Too many fuses to light

(Our kingdom come, on the run)

Gonna steal, beg and borrow

A thousand Fahrenheits

And we're about to ignite

(So keep the throttle to the bottom)

We may never see tomorrow

If tonight's our time to go, the one thing I know

We'll need a coin for the ferryman

Leave us a coin for the ferryman

One for the road and one for those who never leave

One for the Lord and take it from the devil

Don't even try, 'cause you know you can't hide

Better run, better run, better run

We're smokin' dynamite

Too many fuses to light

(Our kingdom come, on the run)

Gonna steal, beg and borrow

A thousand Fahrenheits

And we're about to ignite

(So keep the throttle to the bottom)

We may never see tomorrow

If tonight's our time to go, the one thing I know

We're smokin' dynamite

(Our kingdom come, on the run)

A thousand Fahrenheits

(So keep the throttle to the bottom)

We may never see tomorrow

If tonight's our time to go, the one thing I know

We'll need a coin for the ferryman

Leave us a coin for the ferryman
