Can't Slow Down

I'm driving hard, punching holes in the heat

The air is clammy, a hamper full of nightmare's sheets.

I'm goin' fast like a fading blonde

No time for nothing but goin, goin', goin' - gone.

Tire treads are smooth and hot

Goin' 'round.

Sirens wailing long and loud

But what's a man to do

If he can't slow down.

Just can't seem to slow down

My brakes are failing, blasting through all the lights

My radiator's been blown since I was five.

The night is clinging and the sidewalks reel

My body's rusted, I'm rotten, screaming steel.

Like a warrior who fights without shield

I'll go down.

You'll see me smashed to bits in this town

Long before I'm due

'Cause I can't slow down.

I just can't seem to slow down

I can't slow down

I just can't seem to slow down

I'm knockin', knockin' underneath my hood. (knock, knock)

Don't you inspect me, you know I just ain't no good.

Tire treads are smooth and hot

Goin' 'round.

You'll see me smashed to bits in this town

Long before I'm due

'Cause I can't slow down.

I just can't seem to slow down

I can't slow down

I just can't seem to slow down
