"Driving Too Fast" lyrics

Driving Too Fast

You can follow the road to the mountain
Or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where your life
Go left or go right
It's you in the driver's seat

But if the rain starts swamping your windscreen
And the lights don't piss through the night
And the truck's coming at you
Just gonna splash you
The highway's blinding bright

You're going
Out of your brain
Out of your mind
You're so deranged
You're going blind

You're driving too fast
You went straight past the curve
And you never go back, yeah
Driving too fast
The road was a blur
And it all turned to black
Driving too fast
Hang on to the wheel
I think you're gonna crash

You can see the freeway divided
It's a pity you can't take them both
One leads to the valley
Or down some blind alley
The other runs down to the coast

Too many roads lead to nowhere
But how they twist and they turn
And a dead end
And a dusty old strip mall
Where your tires are all shredded and burned

You're going
Out of your brain
Out of your mind
Going insane
You're going blind
Yeah

You're driving too fast
You slip through the curve
And your slam through the flat
Driving too fast
Now you never go back, will you?

Driving too fast
Yeah, and it's all time to pass, yeah
You're driving too fast
Hang on for your life
I think you're going to crash

You're going
Out of your brain
Out of your mind, yeah
You're so deranged
You're going blind

You're driving too fast
You slip pass the time
Never go back, yeah
Driving too fast
You spin through the curve
And you burn off the track

Driving too fast
You're running out of gas
Driving too fast
Hang on to the wheel
I think we're gonna crash

Yeah
Driving too fast
Yeah
