Speed of Light

There's a devil on my shoulder making me dance

There's a spring in my step up to heavy hearts

Appointments and deadlines sprout up like weeds

Can't tell what I want from what I need

Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right

No more living, living at the speed of light

It's been 10,000 years since we first walked upright

Built a home, built a lamp that will tell day from night

Take from this world that was made

Before it's chewed up and spat up on the way

In a world that's forever inventing the wheel

Look for guilty and changing that's gotta stay real

Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right

No more living, no more living at the speed of light

And if you follow the whims of the man at the top

End up stealing and dealing and losing their blood

Chasing and chasing a dream you once had it's mad

See the circles you ran

Gonna run to the city of permanent joy

All deadlines fall victim and time is destroyed

By the place in my head that's less wrong than right

No more living, no more living at the speed of light

You sell the freedom at gunpoint I ain't gonna buy

You shout in my ear i just stare at the sky

From the place in my head that's less wrong than right

I ain't living, I ain't living at the speed of light
