You slipped through the upstage club again
I found you singing in the band
The summer's over but you're ready to go
There's homeless surfers sleeping on the floor
Quick stint of quarrels in the night
Insults and always starting fights
All the horrible first times in your life
You've broken your teeth and you're rolling the dice
But you're speaking my language, baby
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
There's no way it's life sustaining
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
You know you mean so much to me
Even when the snow falls at your feet
The power's out and the the money is gone
We dread the dark but we'll sell all our songs
We'll take the highway to LA
Where the sun will shine on us all day
We don't have much but we're having fun
Cause tramps like us are born to run
But you're speaking my language, baby
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
There's no way it's life sustaining
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
Around the corner the heat is waiting
Let's move it along, let's move it along
So turn over the record baby
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
All the ghosts in this town, they're here to stay
Can't ask a question, they'll turn you away
It's in their expression, it's in their expression
At the midnight sky, we're screaming out
It's just me and you, what a terrible sound
Hear our confession, hear our confession!
But you're speaking my language, baby
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
There's no way it's life sustaining
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
Around the corner the heat is waiting
Let's move it along, let's move it along
So turn over the record baby
We'll move it along, we'll move it along
