DON'T LOOK BACK^©

Live 19 Mar 1977 version

One!
One!
One!
One, two, three, four!

Cold rain running down the front of my shirt
I'm flat on my back, wheels in the dirt
Angel makes her face up on Baker Street
And she's straddling the shifter in my front seat
There's nothing to lose, it's a setup, the deck is stacked
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back

Making night tracks through the blazing rain
Blowing pistons, working in the lanes
White heat burning, pocket full of cash
Angel writes her name in lipstick on my dash
There's nothing to lose, it's a setup, the deck is stacked
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back

We held it in our hearts through the rain
We made it in the heart of a hurricane
We tore it apart and put it together again

Honey I wanna take ourselves in the sea
Baby won't you believe in love for me
We'll move in the city in the dark
We're gonna walk it, talk it in our hearts
There's nothing to lose, it's a setup, the deck is stacked
So blow off the doors now darling
Let's even the score tonight darling
Put your foot to the floor and darling don't look back

Don't look back
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Don't look back
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Don't look back
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Don't look back
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
