Lyrics:

We follow the taillights out of the city

Moving in a river of red

As the colours fade away from the dusky sunset

We roll for the darkness ahead



Chorus:

We are old, we are young, we are in this together

Vagabonds and children, prisoners forever

With pulses a-raging and eyes full of wonder

Kicking out behind us again



Night-time City Beat the radio is calling

The lost and lonely in vain

Out here we are running for the wide open spaces

The road-smell after the rain



Chorus:

We are old, we are young, we are in this together

Vagabonds and children, prisoners forever

With pulses a-raging and eyes full of wonder

Kicking out behind us again



And watching as a boy alone at the quayside

The ships loading cargo in the night

Their names all calling to faraway places

The years go past, the miles go by

And still this childhood romance will not die
