[Intro]
[guitar riff kicks in]
Black leather at my window
Headlight in my room
You tap once on the shutters
I’m halfway through the gloom (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Helmet on
I’m grinning
Lipstick in your mirror shine
Mom’s voice in the hallway
“Don’t you dare cross that line”
Dad pacing in his slippers
TV glow on his face
“You stay away from trouble”
I’m already out the gate
[Chorus]
Bad news on two wheels
That’s the way I like it
Racing from the rules I feel
The way they break
I bite it
They say I’m throwing life away
But it’s the only thing that’s real
Kissing all these bad boys
Bad news on two wheels (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Sunday dress in the saddle
Ripped tights under the lace
Pearls stuffed in my pocket
Grease streak on my face
Your laugh cuts through the sirens
My heart kicks with the ride
They’re screaming through the voicemail
I can’t hear from outside
[Chorus]
Bad news on two wheels
That’s the way I like it
Racing from the rules I feel
The way they break
I bite it
They say I’m throwing life away
But it’s the only thing that’s real
Kissing all these bad boys
Bad news on two wheels
[Bridge]
[drums drop to tom stomp
Riff circles]
They call you lost cause
They call me lost girl
But I’m done being careful
Done being their little pearl
If I crash tonight
At least I crashed alive
Rather burn this road to ashes
Than barely survive (hey!)
[Chorus]
Bad news on two wheels
That’s the way I like it
Racing from the rules I feel
The way they break
I bite it
They say I’m throwing life away
But it’s the only thing that’s real
Kissing all these bad boys
Bad news on two wheels
[Outro]
[guitars ring
Final hit]
Bad news
Two wheels
I ride
You deal
