"Let It Ride" lyrics

Let's go! Bright lights! Big city!
I'm gonna be the hero on the miracle mile
Ya gotta get down just a little
Dangerous times lift you up
And when the world gets with it
Who do you trust?
Who left you in the dirt

Parasites locked on me
Feedin' off my energy
Stalking all my chorus lines
Vampires suckin' up to me

Darkness hits the light
Hit the road half your life
Do you believe in nightmares?
I do too! Honestly
Your self defeat is buggin' me
You're buggin' me
You're buggin' me

I've been thinkin' 'bout the year I lost my mind
Said fuck it, let it ride

Ego's got me grinnin'
I haven't been the villain on the show in a while
Ya gotta get down just a little
I'm a dangerous guy when I get up
Oh, get that feeling
Keep it in your guts for a while
I wish that Punk'd got your reaction
Now that your life ain't worth that much
Since you met that friend of mine
Who left you in the dirt

Suddenly woke up to find a brighter future
Press rewind back to the day that I decided
I'd become the bad guy
Darkness hits the light
Play the role, enjoy the ride
While you've been playin' Solitaire
I inspire lumineers

Yeah, our team is slaughter
Gotta recognize, we're nice
Stay high like we wanna
You know? You know?
You gotta let it ride

My ego's got me spittin'
I wanna stay the villain on the show for a while
Ya gotta get down just a little
I'm a dangerous guy when I get up
I got them evil feelings
Keep 'em in my guts all the time
Buzzin' by the poor reaction
Now that the world can fuck right off
Since you met that friend of mine
Who left you in the dirt
