intro 2 – Riff 2 > 4

Riff 1  - Candy cane walks
Riff 1  - down
Riff 1  - to build a bonfire
Riff 1  - to break my fall
Riff 2  - my baby
Riff 2  - my sweet thing
Riff 2  - just maybe 
Riff 2  - we could lose ourselves this time

Riff 1  - king of the horseflies
Riff 1  - dark prince of death
Riff 1  - his tragic forces
Riff 1  - are heaven sent
Riff 2  - in sweet things
Riff 2  - in a lovers breath
Riff 2  - in knowing 
Riff 2   - this was meant to last

Riff 1  - a go go go kids
Riff 1  - a go go go style
Riff 1  - a suck suck suck kiss
Riff 1  - a suck suck suck smile
Riff 2  - and as always
Riff 2  - in young need
Riff 2  - a veiled promise 
Riff 2  - to never die

Riff 1  - on dead highways
Riff 1  - her black beauties roam
Riff 1  - for june angels
Riff 1  - so far from home
Riff 2  - for a love lost
Riff 2  - a faded picture
Riff 2  - to tread lightning
Riff 3  - to ink the lavender skies                      
 
Riff 3  - get on get on get on the bomb
Riff 3  - get back get back where you belong 
Riff 3  - get on get on get on the bomb
Riff 3  - get back get back where you belong  
Riff 3  - get on get on get on the bomb
Riff 3  - get back get back where you belong 
Riff 3  - get on                     
Riff 3  - the bomb

Then do a half of riff one for the ending
