Speed of Light

One, two, three, four Open your door, cars fly by Down at the corner store the clerk's got a black eye Junkies wait underneath his sign Easy through the crowd, don't give 'em a dime Take a left on Wilson while the sirens wail Mother covers daughter's ears with her own pigtails Up at the church through electric eyes Down on heavy bells one man cries I keep up with the speed of light No one can see but I'm burning bright I didn't choose to take the ride I keep up with the speed of light, alright Duck 'round the corner, into the attic Couple kids from the mountain makin' out in the valley Dusk comin' over like you seen it before It's blue and it's red and it's yellow and it's orange There's colors you can't name, things you'll never change Blocks in the city that'll never rearrange Your crying does no good, neither does your shame There's a bigger heart beatin' than you can understand I keep up with the speed of light No one can see but I'm burning bright I didn't choose to take the ride I keep up with the speed of light, alright There are forces at work here That we can't control, my dear There are forces at work here I keep up with the speed of light That we can't control, my dear I keep up with the speed of light Look me in the eyes, my dear I Keep up with the speed of light And there are forces at work here, yeah I keep up with the speed of light I keep up with the speed of light No one can see but I'm burning bright I didn't choose to take the ride I keep up with the speed of light I keep up with the speed of light No one can see but I'm burning bright I didn't choose to take the ride I keep up with the speed of light, alright
