Modern Nostalgia

When things go south At the darkest hour In a grey-blue car At 90 miles per hour. Don't worry babe This is not a retreat It's an escape Push the window down babe Let the world come in Bursting out your lungs Chain-smoking Mary Longs At 100 miles per hour You can't quit No matter how hard you try No matter how good you've been Twelve angry men've spoken their mind The verdict's in You can't catch up with the time From the backseat I see the world backwards This temple of no doors This Eden with no floor Where guilt is on another level The peepshow is free At 110 miles per hour As streetlights flash like regrets From an ancient time From different lives Let's hide our love Somewhere it won't be tried Don't panic babe it's just you and I Now close your eyes and drive
