He's got a road map of Jupiter
Radar fix on the stars all along the highway
She's got a liquid-crystal compass
A picture book of the rivers under the SaharaThey 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 runHe's got a star map of Hollywood
A list of cheap motels all along the freeway
She's got a sister out in Vegas
The promise of a decent job far away from her hometownThey 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 wingWe are young, wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal for a limited timeWe are young, wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal for a limited timeTime is a gypsy caravan steals away in the night
To leave you stranded in dreamland
Distance is a long-range filter
Memory, a flickering light left behind in the heartlandWe 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 flyWe are young, wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal for a limited timeWe are young, wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal for a limited timeWhen 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 timeWe travel on the road to adventure
On a desert highway, straight to the heart of the sun
Like lovers and hereos, and the restless part of everyone
We're only at home when we're on the run, on the run
