Lyric
Hey Driver, where're we going? I swear my nerves are showing. Set my hopes up way too high, livings in the way we die. Comes the morning and the headlights fade away. Hundret thousand people I'm the one they frame. I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Spare the darkness, and let it never fade away. Ooohh, the living daylights
Ooohh, the living daylights
Alright, hold on tight now, it's down, down to the wire, set your hopes up way too high living's in the way we die
Comes the morning
