about

What an amazing song. When Dory first wrote it, a friend of hers said "But you can't write that, you can't let that out about yourself". Her reply "It happened to me. Why not?"

lyrics

I was riding in my car

Screaming at the night

Screaming at the dark

Screaming at fright

I wasn't doing nothing

Just drive about

Screaming at the dark

Letting it out

That's all I was doing

Just letting it out



Well along comes a motorcycle

Very much to my surprise

I said officer was I speeding

I couldn't see his eyes

He said no you weren't speeding

And he felt where his gun was hung

He said lady you were screaming

At the top of your lung

And you were

Doing it along

You were doing it alone

You were screaming in your car

In a twenty-mile zone

You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming



I said I'll roll up all my windows

Don't want to disturb the peace

I'm just a creature

Who is looking

For a little release

I said

And what's so wrong with screaming

Don't you do it at your games

When the quarterback

Breaks an elbow

When the boxer beats and maims

But you were

Doing it alone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming in your car

In a twenty-mile zone

You were doing it alone

You were doing it alone

You were screaming



I said animals roar

When they feel like

Why can't we do that too

Instead of screaming

Banzai baby

In the war in the human zoo



He said I got to take you in now

Follow me right behind

And let's have no more screaming

Like you're out of your mind

So he climbed aboard his cycle

And his red-eyed headlight beamed

And his motor started spinning

And his siren screamed



He was doing it alone

He was doing it alone

He was screaming on his bike

In a twenty-mile zone

He was doing it alone

He was doing it alone

He was screaming

I was doing it alone

I was doing it alone

I was screaming in my car

In a twenty-mile zone

I was doing it alone

I was doing it alone

I was screaming

We were doing it together

We were doing it together

We were screaming at the dark

In a twenty-mile zone

We were doing it together

We were doing it together

We were screaming

We were doing it together

We were doing it

Together

Alone

In a twenty-mile zone
