Public Enemy #1 Lyrics

You and me
We're gonna escape tonight
On the run
Under the moonlight
Don't think about nothin'
Don't think about nothin'

Tragedy
Runnin' the red lights
Hear the screams
Another on dies tonight
Don't think about nothin'
Don't think about nothin'

(Pre Chorus)
Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
To be under the gun
On the run, having fun
When you're young
You're so young
When you're young

(Chorus)
Public enemy # 1
Oh yeah
I'm public enemy # 1
Oh yeah
I'm public enemy # 1
Oh yeah. . . . . . .

Climbing high
Fast as the speed of sound
Loser's dreams
Crashing to the ground
Don't think about nothin'
Don't think about nothin'

You and me
Under the gun tonight
On the run
We're lost in the lime light
Don't think about nothin'
Because we're gonna get crazy

(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus) (Pre Chorus) (Chorus)

Public enemy # 1
Hey - Hey - Hey

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The glories of youthful alienation and living in the moment. All right there.

A couple feels like Bonnie and Clyde... Always on the run and living their life for fun together...

I love taking lines and suddenly making the song a couple shades darker... What if the narrator is on the run and sorta kidnaps his girlfriend who doesn't really wanna run away with him which is why he keeps repeating "don't think about nothin" Like their teenagers who dream about running away together and he takes it past fantasy and she doesn't, he takes with him but she doesn't really wanna go... Fun to think about

This song somehow reminds me of a song from BeeGees
