D#
Sleepy town ain't got the guts to budge
           C#
Baby, this emptiness has already been judged
        G#                                       D#
I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got
           D#
You're a strange part of me, you're a preacher's
girl
            C#
And I don't want no piece of this mechanical world
       G#                                 D#
Got my arms open wide and my blood is running hot

Chorus:
               F#
We'll take the midnight road right to the devil's
door
                   Fm
And even the white angels of Eden with their flamin'
swords
         A#
Won't be able to stop us from hitting town in this
          D#
dirty old Ford

Well, it don't take no nerve when you got nothing
to guard
I got tombstones in my eyes and I'm running real
hard
My baby was a lover and the world just blew her
away
Once they tried to steal my heart, beat it right
out of my head
But baby, they didn't know that I was born dead
I am the iceman, fightin' for the right to live

Chorus:
I say better than the glory roads of heaven
Better off ridin' hellbound in the dirt
Better than the bright lines of the freeway
Better than the shadows of your daddy's church
Better than the waiting
Baby, better off is the search
