Twenty-Mile Zone
I was riding in my car Screaming at the night Screaming at the dark Screaming at fright I wasn't doing nothing Just drive about Screaming at the dark Letting it out That's all I was doing Just letting it out Well along comes a motorcycle Very much to my surprise SongtexteI said officer was I speeding I couldn't see his eyes He said no you weren't speeding And he felt where his gun was hung He said lady you were screaming At the top of your lung And you were Doing it along You were doing it alone You were screaming in your car In a twenty-mile zone You were doing it alone You were doing it alone You were screaming I said I'll roll up all my windows Don't want to disturb the peace I'm just a creature Who is looking For a little release I said And what's so wrong with screaming Don't you do it at your games When the quarterback Breaks an elbow When the boxer beats and maims But you were Doing it alone You were doing it alone You were screaming in your car In a twenty-mile zone You were doing it alone You were doing it alone You were screaming I said animals roar When they feel like Why can't we do that too Instead of screaming Banzai baby In the war in the human zoo He said I got to take you in now Follow me right behind And let's have no more screaming Like you're out of your mind So he climbed aboard his cycle And his red-eyed headlight beamed And his motor started spinning And his siren screamed He was doing it alone He was doing it alone He was screaming on his bike In a twenty-mile zone He was doing it alone He was doing it alone He was screaming I was doing it alone I was doing it alone I was screaming in my car In a twenty-mile zone I was doing it alone I was doing it alone I was screaming We were doing it together We were doing it together We were screaming at the dark In a twenty-mile zone We were doing it together We were doing it together We were screaming We were doing it together We were doing it Together Alone In a twenty-mile zone Aus Songtexte Mania
