Well, it's a mixed up picture
And it's a shook up world
It's full of fallen angels
Angry young men and frightened little girls
Yeah, the clock is ticking
And the danger lurks
And the times have changed
Life's gotten cheaper, and love usually hurts
Come on baby
Don't give in
Think about some place down the road
Don't think about where we've been
Don't look back
Don't turn around
Don't look back
Come on, baby, let's blow this town
Don't look back
Don't turn to stone
Don't look back
We're pulling out of the dead zone
Now if I was a banker
Or if I was a king
Or if I was a genius
Maybe, I could fix this thing
Now if you grow up fighting
Yeah, if you grow up strong
You can have the future
The problem is the future's gone
The times got tough
And the night's so dark
Way off in the distance
I can swear, I can see a spark
Don't look back
And don't turn around
Don't look back
Come on, baby, let's blow this town
Don't look back
Don't turn to stone
Don't look back
We're pulling out of the dead zone
And there's a light on the horizon
I'm a burning wheel
Come on baby
They don't take prisoners
And they don't make deals
♪
The times got tough
And the night's so dark
But way off in the distance
I can swear, I can see a spark
Don't look back
And don't turn around
Don't look back
Come on, baby, let's blow this town
Don't look back
Don't turn to stone
Don't look back
We're pulling out of the dead zone
Don't look back
Don't turn around
Don't look back
Come on, baby, let's blow this town
Don't look back
Don't turn to stone
Don't look back
We're pulling out of the dead zone
