He's got a road map of Jupiter
A radar fix on the stars all along the highway
She's got a liquid-crystal compass
A picture book of the rivers, under the Sahara
They travel in the time of the prophets
On a desert highway straight to the heart of the Sun
Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone
We're only at home when we're on the run
On the run
He's got a star map of Hollywood
A list of cheap motels all along the freeway
She's got a sister out in Vegas
Promise of a decent job far away from her hometown
They travel on the road to redemption
A highway out of yesterday, that tomorrow will bring
Like lovers and heroes, birds in the last days of spring
We're only at home when we're on the wing
On the wing
We are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal for a limited time
We are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal for a limited time
♪
Time is a gypsy caravan
Steals away the night to leave you stranded in Dreamland
Distance is a long-range filter
Memory, a flickering light left behind in the heartland
We travel in the dark of the new moon
A starry highway traced on the map of the sky
Like lovers and heroes, lonely as eagle's cry
We're only at home when we're on the fly
On the fly
Yeah!
