The Undertones Save Me song lyrics

I was born to be restless, I cant sleep

cause the southern missile stole my time

Start my life on the run

point my wheels at the sun

and I drive till I close my eyes.

The dashboard drummer starts the music

As I drive through the Philadelphia night

Let the dust be my wake

put the candles on the cake

Make a wish then you blow them out

Its not in the cards tonight

Not in the diamonds that you hold

Not in the cards tonight

I know it will save me

Hit the highway and Ill leave tonight

In the past it would break me

Rolling stone, Im a satellite

I wouldnt do this if I knew I could choose

Its the carnival life but it wont save me now

Im proud and brave through the great plains

With the heart of a soldier on my sleeve

Im a causeway star

Im a roadside bar

Im a fire in the cold desert night
