We might lose a lifetime looking for a thrill. 
Night is the jungle 
A forbidden place - 
In the neon forest people vanish 
        A 
Without trace.

Stay tight together 
 
Greased-up and ready, 
A well-oiled machine: 
You're my motorcycle I'm your gasoline. 
Spark my ignition, 
You hold the key. 
Won't you kick yourself in gear and 
Ride away with me? 
And I fell 
Like hell for leather. 
Can't you 
Tell it's forever 
 
Trapped in the city, 
You learn to save your skin 
There ain't no human zoo could ever cage us in. 
Night is the jungle 
But don't you lose your way, 
There's hungry creatures out there eager 
For some easy prey 
And I fell 
Like hell for leather 
You can tell that it's forever. 
Won't you ride away with me 
Hell for leather.
