There's an army on the dance floor It's a fashion with a gun, my love In a room without a door A kiss is not enough in Love my way, it's a new road I follow where my mind goes, they'd put us on a railroad They'd dearly make us pay for laughing in their faces and making it our way There's emptiness behind their eyes, there's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all and take us all apart, but not in Love my way, it's a new road I follow where my mind goes Love my way, it's a new road I follow where my mind goes Love my way, it's a new road I follow where my mind goes, so swallow all your tears, my love And put on your new face You can never win or lose, if you don't run the race Yeahhh, yeahhh, yeahhh Aw ooh, aw ooh, aw ooh, aw ooh
