Текст песни
I've seen you burn across the night
A pretty flame, a city light
The fast lane queen, the dancer, wild
You make destruction look like style
I've watched you win, I've watched you fly
With that daredevil in your eye
But late at night, when motors die
I'm the one who hears you sigh
They see the glitter, not the cost
They see the speed, but not the loss
You've got the world inside your hands
But it don't hold you back from the edge, man
Pretty, fast, lonely
Beauty and the bass don't fix the hole
Money, fame, the glory
Still you're driving solo on the road
You can outrun the sunrise
You can drown out the silence for a while
But when the party's over
Pretty, fast, lonely's just a child
You talk like you don't need a thing
You laugh like an unbroken king
But I've found keys left in the door
And footsteps pacing on the floor
I'm not here to clip your wings
Or cage the wild and restless things
I just know that underneath the show
There's a girl who's tired of letting go
They see the glitter, not the cost
They see the speed, but not the loss
You've got the world inside your hands
But it don't hold you back from the edge, man
Pretty, fast, lonely
Beauty and the bass don't fix the hole
Money, fame, the glory
Still you're driving solo on the road
You can outrun the sunrise
You can drown out the silence for a while
But when the party's over
Pretty, fast, lonely's just a child
I'm not your savior, not your judge
Just one who never held a grudge
Against the girl who hides her scars
Behind the wheel of fancy cars
So take my lighter, take my smoke
Consider this the truth I spoke
The prettiest things break the most
And the fastest hearts they need a home
Pretty, fast, lonely
Maybe someday you'll believe you're more
All that rush, that glory
Just a way to even out the score
You can park the car at sunrise
Shut the engine off and feel the cold
And when the silence settles
Pretty, fast, lonely — you'll be whole
