At The Speed Of Life

(jack hues)
A man lives in the city
Surrounded by machines
They take away his pity
And give him what he dreams
A stream of information
On a green letter screen
Makes him feel in touch with the world
And sure of what it means
Chorus:
At the speed of light youre in endless night
At the speed of sound you dont see the ground
And in your sports car with the windows down
And the radio on and you dont stop talking
Thanks, Ill keep walking
Im doing things in my own way
Well Im doing things as I please
And then everything else goes its own way
At the speed of life
A man lives in the city

Never Run My Motor Down

(andre cymone/gardne cole)
They say that moss wont grow
On a rolling stone
You cant catch a rising star
So I keep on running
Doesnt matter what people say
As long as Im happy
Jump up turn around
Faster than the speed of sound
Follow me all over town
Never run my motor down
They say its hard to hit
On a moving target
Thats why I always quit
Before its even started
Live my life the way I see
cause my time is for me
Jump up turn around
Faster than the speed of sound
Follow me all over town

Speed Of Sound

Oh when you see it then youd understand
If you could see it then youd understand
Birds come flying from the underground
To show you how it all began
And the earths gone flying at the speed of sound
Oooh
Some get made, and some get send
Some things you cant invent
All those signs, I knew what they meant
Oh when you see it then youd understand
Refr.
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
Some things you have to believe
All the land that I couldnt see
The sign that I couldnt read
Japan and China all lit up
All the buildings that you put up
All the inventors could never design
Ideas that youll never find
If you could see it then youd understand

The Hybrid

spiraling down to earth once more
failed to break the speed of sound
a cloud of dust
as he hits the ground

aspirant angel second-class
reflects in smoky mirror-glass

checks his streamline
furls his wings
with tarnished harp
and broken strings

on the terrace of the 'Bel Epoque' he
raised the tone at the karaoke

Hyperspeed

Moving out nine times the speed of sound... Target...
I've got ??? locked on
Lets jet out, well goose at hyperspeed
I got the beat, I got the beat
And thats all we need
Hyper, hyp-, hyper, hyper
Hyper, hyp-, hyper, hyper
Hyper, hyp-, hyper, hyper
Lets jet out, well goose at hyperspeed
I got the beat, I got the beat
And thats all we need

Adding To The Noise

What's it gonna take
to slow us down
to let the silence spin us around?
What's it gonna take
to drop this town?
We've been spinning at the speed of sound.
Stepping out of those convenience stores
what could we want but more more more?
From the third world
to the corporate core
we are a symphony of modern humanity
If we're adding to the noise
turn off this song
If we're adding to the noise
turn off your stereo, stereo, stereo
I dont know
what they're gonna think of next
genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways
to fall into debt

Reactor

Restricted area
The danger zone
Top secret formula
A power load
The pressure rises
And gets too high
The wheels are rolling
At the speed of sound
The time is coming
To shake the ground
No failure at this point
The core survived
Transfer, recalibrate, and modify
Another test
Are we all set?
The wheels are rolling
You hear that sound
Something's burning
Down in the ground
Alarm lights

Jump!

He heard the planets being born,
he heard the dinosaur's first roar
he heard the voice of Hebrew slaves
plummeting to earth that day.

He thought he heard the voice of God
the devil too and all his souls,
he thought he heard the angels sing
within white clouds, enchantingly.

And there above the planet, blue,
his heart beat out a merry tune
but none did hear it beat so swift
or heard his gasping, breathlessness.

‘Twas faster than the speed of sound
he catapulted to the ground
per chance to land upon his feet,
his own demise he aimed to cheat.

Rorsharch’s test

Remember those inkblots
They have them ready
For you to tell them
About you

And so you begin
With the story of a Big Bear
With sharp claws
Hair all over the body
Big feet, and you said the
Big Bear is walking towards
The forest looking for Mama Bear
Who left little bear cubs,

And then you go to the next
You said you saw clowns
Teasing each other and they have
Extraordinary penises hanging
On their clown pants. You think

Adrenaline

You don't feel the pain

Too much is not enough
Nobody said this stuff makes any sense
We're hooked again

Point of no return
See how the buildings burn
Light up the night
Such pretty sight

Adrenaline keeps me in the game
Adrenaline you don't even feel the pain
Wilder than your wildest dreams
When you're going to extremes
It takes adrenaline
(You don't feel the pain)

Sail through an empty night
It's only you and I who understand

Unbound

Too many cooks tried to fix your dinner
Not enough of this, too much that
So many voices tried to speak as one
Whatcha doing right, whatcha doing wrong
Chorus
You took it hard, you shook it down
But maybe this time, like no ther time
Youll be unbound
When your feet of clay finally hit the ground
At the speed of sound, nothing more was heard
In a flash of fire that left behind no smoke
What was once too bright is now as dark as night
Chorus
I wish that I could say that I was surprised
When I heard the news tthat you had said goodbye
I hope youre doing well, I hope its good this time
Somewhere I heard that you were doing fine

Do I Love You, Until Today

all make-up have lose
to the ground,
like a painted wall that cracks thru and thru
yah! so naive in the making, yet satisfying
the smile that crafted in your face,
oh! lousy beauty that beverage a new wine in
an old jar

dress code that bother the seeker,
blond want to arose the young one, bother me
not forgotten rotten fish in the pail,
nothing left but a texture that once upon a time
so cute and dazzling like fish wanted to be hook
in the fishermen cage

nay those days will come again,
boarded in the speed of sound, like a jet
viewed in the clouds, waiting to hail
the rainbow that never
rain, come and take those sparkle of moist in the

One Angel

One angel, its wings spread out
colliding with the speed of sound,
One angel, that shone brighter
than the moon cratered by eternal night,
One angel, with beauty that made all the,
flowers shed there pedals out of jealously,
One angel, it's hands soft and warming
like the embrace of the suns nova ray's,
One angel, it's voice echo's through your mind
hitting every sense of safety into bloom,
One angel, with eyes that ate out
the vision of anything else but them in your sight,
One angel, it's touch like that of a dimming
candle penetrating your skin with warmth and delight,
One angel, that breathes everything
into you so you can stay alive,
One angel, that holds onto your soul
in the treasure box called her own,
One angel, is all you need
to have a eternal paradise in your soul,

Heaven Only Knows

I watch the world go round and round
And my life goes by at the speed of sound
I walk the night
And I wonder just where I belong, oh
My heart is young, but my soul is old
Ive never been one to do what I was told
My back to the wall
Is the only place I can feel strong, oh
Chorus
Heaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life Ive waited for a miracle
But I cant ask for anything more
I like to think Im a faithful man
To resist desire, I do all I can
I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, oh
Repeat chorus
Ive always wondered how to know right from wrong
Looking for a reason to replace what is gone
But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me

Public Enemy #1

You and me
Were gonna escape tonight
On the run
Under the moonlight
Dont think about nothin
Dont think about nothin
Tragedy
Runnin the red light
Hear the screams
Another one dies tonight
Dont think about nothin
Dont think about nothin

Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
To be under the gun

Sweet Hitch-hiker

Was ridin along side the highway, rollin up the country side.
Thinkin Im the devils heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction standin by the road;
She was smilin there, yellow in her hair;
Do you wanna, I was thinkin, would you care.
Chorus:
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the greasy king.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Wont you ride on my fast machine?
Cruisin on thru the junction, Im flyin bout the speed of sound,
Noticin peculiar function, I aint no roller coaster show me down.
I turned away to see her, woa! she caught my eye,
But I was rollin down, movin too fast;
Do you wanna, she was thinkin can it last.
Chorus
Was busted up along the highway, Im the saddest ridin fool alive.
Wondring if youre goin in my way, wont you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a ridin, lord, shes flyin high.
But she was rollin down, movin too fast;

I See Monsters

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, she's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh but when she calls,
I know she's the one
Makes me want her harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're flying around
At the speed of sound
