I would kill for a spark
A speeding car through the heart
One bolt of lightning
A thunderous smile
Would you be here to shake me
Or let the makers make me
I'm tired of fighting
Where were you when the levee broke
Rest easy and fly
Across the rubber sky
The line is dusty and thin
'tween the thief and the king
A slingshot for a dream
A change of scenery
We don't need to be forgiven
We don't need to be forgiven
Simmer down my friend
We'll be resting soon
Down here in the valley
Of the misunderstood
Shot straight through the heart
Are we dead or alive
At the back of this alley
No one cares enough to know
Rest easy and fly
Across the rubber sky
The line is dusty and thin
'tween the thief and the king
A slingshot for a dream
A change of scenery
We don't need to be forgiven
We don't need to be forgiven
They can't keep the peace
Out here in the open
We'll be kings and queens
Weary, wet and mean
Should we trade our heroes for dust
Exchange glory for rust
It all comes at a cost
We ain't got diamonds but we got steam
We got no pearls but we got dreams
And we don't need to be forgiven
We don't need to be forgiven
