Just a kid, outta school
Not many friends but he's nobody's fool
No excitement, in 'is life
He's always walkin' on the edge of a knife

Ya know his hunger's keen
Gonna buy him a mean machine

(He knows)
It could be suicide
(Don' care)
There's fire burning in his eyes

Finally, he knew that 'e found
The best set o' wheels in the whole damn town
He couldn't wait, just wants to feel
The power an' the freedom behind the wheel

He put the pedal to the metal
And he could hear the engine roar

(He knows)
It could be suicide
(Don' care)
There's fire burning in his eyes

(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone) tonigh-high-high-ight
(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone) tonigh-high-high-ight
Ohh come on

He put the pedal to the metal
And he could hear the engine roar

(He knows)
It could be suicide
(Don' care)
There's fire burning in his eyes

(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone) tonigh-high-high-ight
(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone)
(He's livin' in a danger zone) tonigh-high-high-ight
