Stole a key Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet Took a car downtown and took what they offered me To set me free I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me In my scarecrow dreams When they smashed my heart into smithereens Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete Be a cartoon heart Light a fire, a fire, a spark Light a fire, a flame in my heart We'll run riot We'll be glowing in the dark ooh ooh ooh We'll be glowing in the dark ooh ooh ah All the boys, all the girls All that matters in the world All the boys, all the girls All that matters that occurs All the highs, all the lows As the room is spinning, oh We'll run riot We'll be glowing in the dark So we’ll soar Luminous and wired We’ll be glowing in the dark
