Lyrics

[00:17.920] Ain't nobody there to step on the brakes
[00:20.890] Lit up like Tijauna city carnival lights
[00:25.060] Mmm, why somebody better pull up the shades
[00:29.230] Hey, hey, hey , second time ya had to kiss her goodnight
[00:33.450] Outside the motorcycle devils
[00:35.320] Rev for the cruise
[00:38.580] Buddha's in the alley, working the Rue
[00:41.680] Ping, ping-a-rain a comin' down the edge of the roof
[00:45.890] Thinkin' I'd be a little mystified to
[00:50.060] Wish I knew
[00:54.080] Wish I knew
[00:59.150] Drop another silver plug for the damned
[01:03.480] Don't forget to make it a wish
[01:06.550] Mmm, Yellow thunder bolt a' Shazzam
[01:11.660] Isn't very likely to miss
[01:15.870] Shutters on the winda' beatin' like wings
[01:19.840] Smoke a' backin' up and up in the flu
[01:23.860] Hounds are in the gutter startin' to sing
[01:26.950] Thinkin' I'd be a little mystified too
[01:31.150] Wish I knew
[01:35.070] Wish I knew
[01:39.130] Wish I knew
[01:43.250] Li Di Di da da da da da da Di Di Di Di ...
[02:07.730] Sooner or later gotta' live in your skin
[02:12.790] Sleepin' in the very bed that you make
[02:15.830] Some walking dead behind the Wayfarer lenses
[02:20.800] Hangin' by the skin your teeth
[02:24.880] Motorcycle devils
[02:25.940] Rev for the cruise
[02:28.860] Soldiers in the alley working the rue
[02:31.880] Little bitty pretty one
[02:33.790] What's got into you
[02:35.900] Thinkin' I'd be a little mystified too
[02:39.980] Wish I knew
[02:44.090] Wish I knew
[02:47.850] Wish I knew
[02:52.180] Li Di Di da da da da da da Di Di Di Di ...
[03:08.140] Wish I knew
[03:09.460] Better than to do as I please
[03:13.130] Better than to skin my knees
[03:17.380] Better than a fallin' for
[03:20.250] Wish I knew
[03:24.080] Wish I knew
[03:27.990] Wish I knew
[03:32.160] Li Di Di da da da da da da Di Di Di Di ...
