Electric Overdrive
Lyrics
Engines in the distance, silver in the rain
Neon reflections sliding down the pane
Cello strings are moving like a piston heart
Mechanical emotion tearing me apart
Leather seats and shadows, fingers on the wheel
Every passing headlight makes the silence real
Static on the radio, voices cold and thin
City breathing slowly through a sheet of tin
Tension in the wires
Circuits start to glow
We ride the night alone
Steel and glass and chrome
Heartbeat synchronized with the undertone
No one sees our face
Time we can’t erase
Speed becomes the only warm embrace
Streetlights counting down like a coded prayer
Concrete constellations hanging in the air
Every turn a mirror of a life on hold
Every mile a story never told
Pressure in the sound
Spinning round and round
We ride the night alone
Steel and glass and chrome
Heartbeat synchronized with the undertone
No one hears the cry
Underneath the sky
Engines hum a cold lullaby
Ahh ahh ahh
Strings collide with sparks of light
Ahh ahh ahh
We disappear into the night
Motion without memory
Velocity our remedy
We ride the night alone
Shadows overthrown
Every road a place we’ve never known
Faster than the doubt
Let the signals shout
In the dark we finally burn out
Engines fade to grey
But the rhythm stays
Echoes of electric days
