Head out on the highway  
Looking for adventure  
In whatever comes our way.

Contestants in a suicidal race

He works from nine to five and then  
He takes another home again  
To find me waiting for him.

Baby, I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting night and day.  
I didn’t see the time, I waited half my life away.  
There were lots of invitations and I know you sent me some,
