Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm so high I could fly
Let's solve the mystery of love tonight
Family matters, the black and blue
We love the stooges and we hate you too
[Verse 2]
Because I gotta ride
There's danger in your kiss tonight
Because I'll, I'll be an outlaw for you
[Verse 3]
Let's drive fast, forget the past
The world's greatest lovers know that this won't last
We're on the sun, we'll beat the sun
Johnny Thunder's probably gone, gone, gone
[Verse 4]
'Cause I, I gotta ride
There's danger in the world tonight
Because I'll, I'll be an outlaw for you
Yeah, I, I'll be an outlaw for you
[Verse 5]
Come on, Johnny, turn that song
Susie starts dancin' and she can't go wrong
Her dress is red, her walk is cool
She wears Valentino like a broken rule
[Verse 6]
You know I, I gotta ride
You know there's danger in your eyes tonight
Because I'll, I'll be an outlaw for you
[Verse 7]
I'll be an outlaw for you
I'll be Jack Carol after you
Alan Ginsburg for you
Gregorian Cortez for you
Octavio Paz for you
Streetwalkin' cheetah for you
I'll be somethin' for you, baby
Hey, come on
[Verse 8]
I'll be James Dean for you
I'll be Cesar Chavez for you
I'll be Zapata for you, baby
Hey, come on, like that
[Verse 9]
We gotta run, baby
Come on, we gotta run
From the outlaws
