A broken castaway from where the shadows lie
Soon comes the shadow there where the sanes abide
Soon comes the castaway, he's so full of dancing
A move to move the trance in, a move to move the trance in

[Chorus:]
Riding on my own I speed
Riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves
Left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road – a torment
Waiting on the road – the doorman
Riding on my own I speed
Right is for the shadow-shires

Some tragic magic spoken from the neon place
So many years away and still that moment stays
So many years to go and he's full of laughter
A move to move there after, a move to move there after

[Chorus:]
Riding on my own I speed
Riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves
Left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road – a torment
Waiting on the road – the doorman
Riding on my own I speed
Right is for the shadow-shires

See how the neon lights are faltering
The sea on the left is carved in stone
See all the million lights are flickering
The right of the road becomes my own

[Chorus:]
Riding on my own I speed
Riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves
Left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road – a torment
Waiting on the road – the doorman
Riding on my own I speed
Right is for the shadow-shires

(I left in absence…)
Riding on a road of fire
Staring at the autumn leaves
(I left in absence…)
Left is for the neon isles
Waiting on the road a torment
(I left in absence…)
Waiting on the road – a torment
Waiting on the road – the doorman
(I left in absence…)
Riding on my own I speed
Right is for the shadow-shires
