[Verse]

 
Can we climb t

his mountain
      
I dont know
             
Higher now tha

            
n ever before
             
I know we can 

              
make it if we 

        
take it slow
 
Let's take it 

easy
  
Easy now,  wat

ch it go


[Chorus]

             
We're burning 

              
down the highw

        
ay sky- line
         
On the back of

 a hurricane
 
That started t

urning
              
When you were 

            
  young
              
When you were 

            
  young

             
And sometimes 

             
you close your

  
 eyes
              
And see the pl

             
ace where you 

         
used to live
              
When you were 

              
   young


[Bridge]

              
They say the d

  
evil's water I

et
              
You dont have 

              
to drink right

 
 now
              
But you can di

        
p your feet
              
Every once in 

          
a little while


[Instrumental]

          
          


[Verse]

             
You sit there
