Saturday They'll All Be Back Again

Johnny's out, cruising down the fast food strip He rides the high-wheeler Ford He's down here every evening since the school let out An ordinary man would be bored Johnny's got the hunger of a high school heart And a tank full of minimum-wage So it's six lights down, six lights back Pacing like a lion in a cage He's running on a tether Tearing at the ground Trying to find a way to break the chain This howling in the distance It's a captivating sound Can't tell if it's ecstasy or pain Saturday they'll all be back again All those engines pulling all night long Still makes a slow moving train They can scream out their freedom When the light turns green But they're bound to come 'round again Standing at a distance there's the dark haired girl Johnny doesn't know her name He howls his engine like a big, black dog Choking on his collar by his chain It's lonely, like hunger Driven to the same old place Rumble like thunder Don't you think that Angels hear The pa*sion of this human race? Running on a tether, tearing at the ground Trying to find a way to break the chain This howling in the distance It's a captivating sound Can't tell if it's ecstasy or pain Saturday they'll all be back again Saturday they'll all be back again
