[Verse 1]
Pretty baby don't be late
The world is ending, I can't change
The way I feel about you now
New York is cold as ever
But still I go out every night
Hide myself among the lights
Bathe in all the pretty things
The city brings
The bodies glisten and they shine
Like the stars we're born to die
Like these roses we all will fade

[Chorus]
I'm counting the cars
On the freeway below
Lost in the music
All the foolishness of our lives
Speeding out of control
Lost in the music
In the music

[Verse 2]
Pretty baby please don't cry
Wipe the guilt out from your eyes
And leave your conscience on the bed
There's no one innocent here
In the mirror you'll find faith
Plastic flowers never fade
But we all turn to grey

[Chorus]
I'm counting the cars
On the freeway below
Lost in the music
All the foolishness of our lives
Speeding out of control
Lost in the music in the music

[Bridge]
I lost my way
I lost it all
I lost my way

[Verse 3]
Pretty baby please don't cry
Wipe the guilt out from your eyes
Pick yourself up off the bed
There's no one innocent here
The bodies glisten and they shine
Like the stars we're born to die
Like these roses we all will fade

[Chorus]
I'm counting the cars
On the freeway below
Lost in the music
All the foolishness of our lives
Speeding out of control
Lost in the music

[Outro]
I'm counting the cars
On the freeway below
I'm counting the lights
And the end of it all
I'm counting the cars
On the freeway below
Lost in the music in the music
In the music in the music
In the music in the music
