Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On Detonation Boulevard
[Verse 2]
Through the angel rain
Through the dust and the gasoline
Through the cruelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Of long distance information
Just tell me where the manholes steam
A little girl waits on my station
With a new machine
[Verse 3]
On Detonation Boulevard
[Verse 4]
I got wrecked out here
In a Eldorado
I got wired, white-walled
For this hot-wired sedan
I caught somethin' weird in Ensenada
I've a brother of sorts in Torquemada
Long distance information
Disconnect me if you can
[Verse 5]
On Detonation Boulevard
[Verse 6]
Pink noise, white noise
And a violet, whining sound
Well, it burns inside this car
No cops, no signs, no left, no right
No stops, no turning round
Well, you can run, but you can't ride
You won't get far
[Verse 7]
On Detonation Boulevard
[Verse 8]
Bang-bang
[Verse 9]
On Detonation Boulevard
[Verse 10]
Through the angel rain
Through the rust and the gasoline
Through the cruelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Uh, long distance information
I'll take the same
I got the fuel for the transformation
I'm a naked flame
[Verse 11]
On Detonation Boulevard
[Verse 12]
Bang-bang
