Adam Ant – Very Long Ride lyrics

Adam Ant/Marco Pirroni/John Reynolds/Kevin Mooney

I got up early and the sun was by my side
I thought you was my friend
But all you did was lie
And now I carry this until the day I die
I keep on riding till the sun goes from the sky

Sometimes you get the bear and
Sometimes the bear gets you
I know it's the only fight you got
Look what it's done to you

I carry this. 357 in my hand
Don't ask me why
If you don't want to understand
I keep on moving I keep driving through this land
And by the moonlight I will travel if I can

It's gonna take nerve
It's gonna take real nerve
It's gonna take more than you ever ever ever
Thought it could

Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride
Very Long Ride it's a
Long Ride
Very Long Ride it's a Very Long Ride
Very Long Ride it's a
Long Ride

I travel light cos I am the lone rider
I travel light cos I am the outsider
I travel light cos I'm a very good fighter
I travel light all through the day
And through the night

It's gonna take more than reaction
Much more than a brave attempt
You're gonna need skin like a rhino
To face such cold contempt

I drive in style I drive a '99 Beamer
And you just wait until the time that I see ya
You better look again before you look away
I will be driving by the Kings Highway

Very very
Demi-semi-quaverous
Very Long Ride

I keep on moving now until I reach the end
But I'm not moving cos I'm looking for revenge
And I'm not moving cos a friend of mine crossed me
I'll just keep on till I get you the fuck off me
