lyrics

Stay a while
To make sense of these flashing lights around you
Surrounding
Oh they could be a warning
They could be
They could be most anything

Funny while it lasted
Now life was running out on me
That cool grin you wear
With eyes locked on and menacing
I can’t take it (come on)
I cannot wait
I’m putting on a burst of speed

And you know
That most tempting thought, when alone
Is believing you’re not caught
Surrounded
Numbing reassurance
Dulling all my senses when I need them most

Funny while it lasted
Now life was running out on me
That cool grin you wear
With eyes locked on and menacing
I can’t take it (come on)
I cannot wait
I’m putting on a burst of speed

Oh, Funny while it lasted
Now life was running out on me
That cool grin you wear
With eyes locked on and menacing
I can’t take it (come on)
I cannot wait
I’m putting on a burst of speed

Funny while it lasted
Now life was running out on me
That cool grin you wear
With eyes locked on and menacing
I can’t take it (come on)
I cannot wait
I’m putting on a burst of speed
