Messing with the boys in blue 
Don't you know they'll come for you 
Better find the exit wound from the flashing of the camera crews 
Better tell the ones that know 
Taking on the dice that roll 
Boy, you don't have a clue 
Sending out the IOU 
Cause fashion will lead you over roads that I felt like taking over 
On the road 

Now you're running from the boys in blue 
Better hope they don't find you 
Never knew that you had rules 
Until they broke the ones they thought weren't true 
You never found the eyes that rolled 
Never heard the legend told 
I wonder if the prince got through 
Imagine if the palace knew 
That the captain has taken over roads that I felt like taking over 
On the road 

Why can't we understand the history of man? 
Leave every stone unturned and every bridge unburned 
Why can't we comprehend the mysteries of man? 
Leave every stone unturned and every bridge unburned 
These dreams, they don't make sense 
You'll never see the gardener or the white picket fences pass the graves 

Street lights dance and street lights sing 
Someone cut the oxygen and took a message to the king 
Announcing that he wasn't royalty 

So sing the hook 
(So sing the hook, Let the music move)

Why can't we comprehend the mysteries of man on the road?
