I'm driving hard, punching holes in the heat

The air is clammy, a hamper full of nightmare's sheets.

I'm goin' fast like a fading blonde

No time for nothing but goin, goin', goin' - gone.

My brakes are failing, blasting through all the lights

My radiator's been blown since I was five.

The night is clinging and the sidewalks reel

My body's rusted, I'm rotten, screaming steel.



Tire treads are smooth and hot

goin' 'round.

Sirens wailing long and loud

but what's a man to do

If he can't slow down.



I'm knockin', knockin' underneath my hood.

Don't you inspect me, you know I just ain't no good.

I'm spittin' licorice in the D.M.Z.

Both sides sit helpless - ironic equality.



Like a warrior who fights without shield

I'll go down.

You'll see me smashed to bits in this town

long before I'm due

'Cause I can't slow down.
