Lyrics
Always thought there's something better out there
Today it's you
Never seen a pretty girl looking so tough
Pink dress and a black tattoo
Take me with you motorcycle girl
Take me with you motorcycle girl
Every compromise I ever I made
Took me farther from you
A lovely waitress in a biker cafe
Now I know what I need to do
Take me with you motorcycle girl
Take me with you motorcycle girl
As I start to fade
Into this grey, dull life I made
One short change of tack
Exotica in pink and black
BREAK
T M W Y
You and me on the white line
The smell of petrol and your sweet perfume
Is it just the open road ahead
Or do your red lights look like mine
But at the end of that road
Is there a dead end street?
A cramp and damp basement flat
Where disappointment and delusion meet
Take me with you motorcycle girl
Take me with you motorcycle girl
