Adam & The Ants Very Long Ride Lyrics

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 falls 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

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
It's very long ride, it's a very long ride
Very long ride, it's a long ride

Very, very
Demi-semi-quaverous
Very long ride

A 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 f*ck off me

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
It's a 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
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
Very long ride, it's a very long ride
Very long ride, it's a long ride

Very long, very long, very long
Very long, very long, very long, long ride
Very long, very long, very long
Very long, very long, very long, long ride

It's very long ride, it's a very long ride
It's 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
