the windows of the world
are open wide tonight
and everyone is dreaming
'neath the starry light
but I can't sleep at all
and dreams just wate my time
I'll catch a thrill across the danger line

don't think about tomorrow
it might never come
have a good time and die young

now people talk of hope
but I'm not that naive
and I'm not in the mood
for playing make believe
the future's dead and cold
so I'll just cash it in
and play for laughs if I can't play to win

CHORUS

the windows of the world
are open wide tonight
and everyone is dying
'neath the starry light
but I just can't slow down
the wheels turn too fast
I wanna burn on white hot till the last
