Verse 1
AIt's after midnight in the Dcity of Ebroken AdreamsDA
ADown in the alley, GaliDleo meets his Epack of AthievesDA

There's a Dbig car coming like a bat out of Hell
AIt's the dangerous stranger in his Dghostly Elimou---Asine.

Verse 2
AYou get the feeling that he's Drunning in an Eendless AraceDA
ADriving through the city like a Drazor Eacross its AfaceDA
EStops on the corner in a flash of flame
He Dcalls to me ('Hey boy, what's your name?)
AHe's the stranger with a danger if you Dever get to Eplay his Agame[A-G#-F#].

Chorus
F#I want to go for a Dride
To Gsee what lies on the F#other side
D B E (D-EEE, D-EEE, D-EEE)
I want to go for a ride tonight, tonight.

AI climb right in, like a Dfool I Esay I'll AgoDA
AI listen to the messages Dcomin' through his Eradi----AoDA

('You're Dgoing away for a long long time')
AWith the dangerous stranger from a Dstation on the Eother Aside.[A-G#-F#]

AHe's the dangerous stranger on a Dhighway to the Eend of Atime
AHe's the dangerous stranger on a Dhighway to the Eend of Atime.
