Ninety Miles an Hour (Down a Dead End Street)

I took you home from a party and we kissed in fun,

A few stolen kisses and no harm was done.

'Steada stopping when we could, we went right on

Till suddenly we found that the brakes were gone.

You belong to someone else and I do too,

It's just crazy being here with you

As a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat

Going ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street,

Ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street.

I didn't want to want you, now I have no choice,

It's too late to listen to that warning voice,

All I hear is thunder of two hearts' beat

Doing ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street,

Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street.

You're not free to belong to me

And you know I could never be your own,

Your lips on mine are like sweet, sweet wine,

But we're heading for a wall of stone.

Warning signs are eve–flashing¹ everywhere, but we pay no heed,

'Stead of slowing down the place, we keep a-picking up speed,

Disaster's getting closer at every time we meet

Going ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street,

Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street,

Well, ninety miles an hour down a dead-end street.

¹ Dylan begins to say "everywhere", but catches himself and switches to the word "flashes".
