lyrics

No track to take
Like a motor-city runaway
Nowhere to go
No sleep, no dreams
Shifting into cruise control
Wherever I go

Don't look back
There's inertia in me
Don't look back
Just gimme that speed
Don't look back
Push the needle down
With you around
Now I'm off the ground

Cause you're always on time
Like a black star towing me to the line
Cause you're always on time
Like neon lighting up the night sky
Cause you're always

No line to seek
No will to want to please
My heart skip skips to the beat
No words to speak
Ain't got no promises to keep
When you're so far behind

So don't look back
I think there's something new in my blood
Don't look back
Somethings are never fair
Don't look back
My eyes don't desire
And nothing required
With you around

Cause you're always on time
Like a black star towing me to the line
Cause you're always on time
Like neon lighting up the night sky

There's inertia in me
There's inertia in me
There's inertia in me
There's inertia in me

Cause you're always on time
Like a black star towing me to the line
Cause you're always on time
Like neon lighting up the night sky
Cause you're always on time
Cause you're always on time
Cause you're always on time
Cause you're always on time
Cause you're always
