Lyrics
I was born on the highway
In a train wreck
With a heart that was beating
Outta my chest
So now I follow it around the world
I can't keep up if I don't get it soon
I know I'll bleed until I drop
'Cause I want it all
I can't get enough
'Cause I want it all
I can't get enough
There's a darkness and a hollow
On the highway
Every cross on the roadside
Tells a story
So now I follow it around the world
I can't keep up
The story never ends as long as we have
Blood and cuts
'Cause I want it all
I can't get enough
'Cause I want it all
I can't get enough
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
It ran off the track, 11/79, while the immigrants slept
There wasn't much time
The mayor came calling and got 'em outta bed
They packed up their families and headed up wind
A poison cloud, a flaming sky
Two hundred thousand people and no one died
And all before the pocket dial
Yeah
I keep searching and searching
I keep searching and searching
Now I'm stranded, tied on the tracks
There's no hero, there's no villain
There's nobody I can blame, the story's still the same
I'm never satisfied
It's a problem with my brain
I keep searching and searching
I keep searching and searching
'Cause I want it all
I can't get enough
'Cause I want it all
I can't get enough
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
Can't get enough
I can't get enough
