Lost limbs and loved ones
Left on the dance floor
But when the smoke cleared I only saw you
Twirl past the carnage
And casualties of high school
Dump out the punch bowl
These days are almost through

Won't you take a chance and come with me
Skip out before the last dance and break free
Summer's meant for open roads
Let's find out where this highway goes
Close your eyes, Nikkia, and you'll see
Close your eyes, Nikkia, and you're free
Free, free

Spotlight upon the wolves
Dancing with their prey
Not you my renegade
No, you can walk away
Call down your ninjas
Waiting in the wings
Storm the castle walls
Homecoming queens and kings

Won't you take a chance and come with me
Skip out before the last dance and break free
Summer's meant for open roads
Let's find out where this highway goes
Close your eyes, Nikkia, and you'll see
Close your eyes, Nikkia, and you're free
Free, free

The natives are restless
As truth and expectations all collide
If you're feeling raw about it
Nikkia, you can fight your way outside
So let's get out of here tonight
Chaperones posted at every gate
The janitor is toasted, so let's make our escape

Won't you take a chance and come with me
Skip out before the last dance and break free
Summer's meant for open roads

Let's find out where this highway goes
Close your eyes, Nikkia, and you'll see
Close your eyes, Nikkia, and you're free
Free, free
