In Speed

Who cares about you if you live or die?
All I need is me and my thoughts
Motion forward, never backwards, I'm fine
For my momentum is hypnotizing
My work and darling

Let's speed up, let's speed up
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Without grace and running
Without grace and running
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Without grace and running
Without grace and running

You've got a nail through your heart
I say you've got a nail through your soul
No wonder you are the way you are
How many nails might have gotten through?
Forty-five nails through the center of my thoughts
Fifty-two nails if you count the ones through the heart
For this is my parade I'm going to
This is my parade, I'm not inviting you

Warm weather troubles me, I feel I'm guilty
When I see the verdant green bone-dry
Sparkle in the eye is a rare thing
A sped-up world leaves little room for living things
It never cooks the meals it eats bone-dry
Patience tried when the old cross the street

Let's speed up, let's speed up
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Without grace and running
Without grace and running
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Without grace and running
Without grace and running

You've got a nail through your heart
I say you've got a nail through your soul
No wonder you are the way you are
How many nails might have gotten through?

Let's speed up, let's speed up
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Without grace and running
Without grace and running
Let's speed up, let's speed up
Let's speed up, let's speed up
No wonder you are the way you are
No wonder you are the way you are
