Cold run Speed Highway was the place where we'd all go
When our nerves were razor sharp, and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rollin'
Let them roll right over you
'Cause I'm well greased down, and I'll always win it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

Let it roll, let it roll
Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

[Instrumental]

When our nerves were razor sharp, and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

Was a fast tough woman loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down for real
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills

You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

Holing out in my hotel room police they finally come
And there's the prosecution, and my friends have palmed the gun

You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

High flyers, wheelin' birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams

(1) And your every melody
With the sea tides tossin' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by

Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weekend and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams

(1) Repeat

Pete Way; Phil Mogg

Lady love to hang on
Lady like a real intel-lectual
Sweet sister you’re still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Wish for cinder embers to keep
Over my head, so it's all…

Out in the streets for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes your vaudeville carries on

[Instrumental]

Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes your vaudeville carries on

Lady love to hang on
Lady like a real intel-lectual
Sweet sister you’re still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Over my head, over my head

Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more

Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you
Make a big tome status, then we run them through

Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more

Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

I really tried my hardest just to make you understand
(what) it feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man
But you gave me so much money
And you would not understand
I realize i hurt you, so i stay just as i am

*

But the whole world keeps on turnin'
Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin'
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
I just roll along

There's been one too many mornings
And one too many years
One of life's delinquents
Who just can't take the pace
We found out the hard way
I hope you understand
That my life is just my habit
And i had an overdose

*

Repeat

I used to try, i used to try
Used to cry, oh i used to cry

--- solo ---

Give a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
I hear razzle dazzle, the session is the trouble
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

There I was on the floor and twenty partners left
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
Feel so tired it must be a week
Nearly on my knees
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

California, you always seem to have the sun
But I never really got near to it
And to turn hand to anything you know
Just to try it

Give a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
I hear razzle dazzle, the session is the trouble
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

California, you always seem to have the sun
But I never really got near to it
And to turn hand to anything you know
Just to try it
