lyrics

Light Speed

I hit the ground on my own
Walk round this city with a chip upon my shoulder
Facing oblivion
This tired world spins and I just get older
Walking these streets at night
They'll bump your shoulder
But they never look you eye-to-eye
My lads are all well-known
So decide...

Let's hit light speed.

A million stars in the sky
A wedding band for father time but even older
8 million light years wide
Just getting to its edge
Would break the hardest soldier
Where are my troops tonight?
They're bustin' someone on the west side 'cos of boredom
They'll sleep real well tonight
They don't hide....

Let's hit light speed.

I got my mind on my money
But I'm losing my mind
People walking by won't even glance
It makes me sober
I've got my hand on my weapon
And my weapon's my pride
It's my validation
It's my Red October

Get me
Out of places
That spout of claiming to be
While really lacking to me
I need something
Cosmic, that one thing:
I'll beat the speed of time
And then I'll show you-

Let's hit light speed.

I hit the ground on my own
Walk round this city with a chip upon my shoulder
Facing oblivion
This tired world spins and I just get older
Walking these streets at night
They'll bump your shoulder
But they never look you eye-to-eye
My lads are all well-known
So decide...

Let's hit light speed.
