Eye Of The Hurricane

The tank is full
the switch is on
The night is warm
the cops are gone,
the rocket bike is all her own
it's called a hurricane.

She told me once it's quite a ride
it's shaped so there's this place inside
where if you're moving you can hide
safe within the rain.

She wants to run away
but there's nowhere that she can go.
Nowhere the pain won't come again
but she can hide
hide in the pouring rain.
She rides the eye of a Hurricane.

"Tell the truth
explain to me
how you got this need for speed."
She laughed, said "It might just be
the next best thing to love."
Hope is gone, she confessed
that when you lay your dream to rest
you can get what's second best
but it's hard to get enough.

She wants to run away
but there's nowhere that she can go.
Nowhere the pain won't come again
but she can hide
hide in the pouring rain.
She rides the eye of a Hurricane.

We saw her ride
so fast last night
Racing by--
a flash of light.

Riding quick
the street was dark
the shining truck she
thought was parked
it blocked her path
stopped her heart
but not the Hurricane.
She saw her chance to
slip the trap
there was just the room to
pass and back but
then it moved
closed the gap.
She never felt the pain.

She wants to run away
but there's nowhere that she can go.
Nowhere the pain won't come again
but she can hide
hide in the pouring rain.
She rides the eye of a Hurricane.
