Whatchu doin' right now?
I'mma come pick you up
Yeah, let's go for a ride
We're gonna break the lawTryna do 65, baby but cha body won't let me
'Cuz you're so damn tight
And I wanna cross the double line
But the last time that I did it, I got myself a ticket girl'Cause baby girl I don't mind
(I'mma take my chances)
If I'm caught I'll pay the fine
(Deal with the circumstance)
'Cause if the judge only knew
(If he know what I knew)
I know, he'd wanna ride wit chu, oohWe're breakin' the law tonight so don't be scared
And we're settin' it off tonight, it's 'bout to go there
We might do some time if they catch us, we'll be high-speed chasin'
Till ya body's makin' movin' violationsWe're breakin' the law tonight that's what we gon' do
So don't worry 'bout traffic lights, we breezin' right through
I got my story, you're my alibi

So we're breakin' the law tonight, we'll be breakin' the lawThis time I'm gon let you drive
Just pump them brakes, we can swerve, double round them curves
'Cause tonight, we're gonna take a ride, baby
Ride, ride, ride it, ride it, ride, let me ride'Cause baby girl I don't mind
(I'm gonna take my chances baby)
If I'm caught I'll pay the fine
(There'll be circumstances, circumstances)
'Cause if the judge only knew
(If the judge only knew)
I know, he'd wanna ride wit chu
(He'd wanna ride wit chu oh)We're breakin' the law tonight so don't be scared
And we're settin' it off tonight, it's 'bout to go there
We might do some time if they catch us, we'll be high-speed chasin'

So don't worry 'bout traffic lights, we breezin' right through
I got my story, you're my alibi
So we're breakin' the law tonight, we'll be breakin' the lawGirl you know I got two strikes, one more time then I'll be doin' life girl

So get ready for the time of your lifeWe're breakin' the law tonight so don't be scared
And we're settin' it off tonight, it's 'bout to go there
We might do some time if they catch us, we'll be high-speed chasin'

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The New Pornographers are a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1997 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Their sound is influenced by that of such power pop bands as The Cars and Cheap Trick, but they use much more sophisticated rhythms and chord changes. Although it was widely reported that the New Pornographers got their name from a pamphlet put out by televangelist Jimmy Swaggart condemning rock ‘n’ roll as “the new pornography,” Carl Newman has stated that he came up with the name after watching Shohei Imamura's The Pornographers (1966).

Carl Newman, who writes most of the band's material, has said, "When I seriously started to try to write songs, my main influences were, like, Burt Bacharach, Jim Webb, and Brian Wilson. Those were the guys I kinda looked at their music and went, 'What the hell are they doing here?' I was just fascinated by the structures and the harmonics."

The melody of the first and eponymous track on their second album Electric Version, for instance, begins with an arpeggiated diminished triad --- a rare and strange opening flourish for a pop song.

The band has released five albums to date:
Mass Romantic (2000)
Electric Version (2003)
Twin Cinema (2005)
Challengers (2007)
Together (2010)

The band members include:
- Carl Newman - vocals, guitar, ebow, synthesizer, harmonica, pump organ, xylophone
- Dan Bejar - vocals, guitar, synthesizer, melodion
- Kathryn Calder - vocals, piano
- Neko Case - vocals, tambourine
- John Collins - bass, guitar, synthesizer, ebow, vocals
- Kurt Dahle - drums, percussion, vocals
- Todd Fancey - guitar
- Blaine Thurier - synthesizer
- Nora O'Connor - vocals

The New Pornographers are frequently referred to as an indie supergroup because of the following members' associations:

- Carl Newman, solo artist (as A.C. Newman), also of Superconductor and Zumpano
- Dan Bejar of Destroyer,Swan Lake and Vancouver Nights.
- Kathryn Calder of Immaculate Machine.
- Neko Case, solo artist, also of Maow and Cub
- John Collins of The Evaporators
- Kurt Dahle of Limblifter and Age of Electric
- Todd Fancey of Fancey
- Blaine Thurier, independent filmmaker
- Nora O'Connor of The Blacks and Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire

Newman, however, doesn't care for the term: "I'm really tired of that supergroup label, and I wish people would stop using it. None of us were known at all outside of Canada --- I just don't think it's accurate."
