Light starts in a dark place

The story of a car chase

And I've become the criminal

And fleeing from this scene

And being caught in a bad dream

The truth becomes the unthinkable (yeah)



I'm on the brink of disaster

Starin' down the consequences

So brake hard we'll be better

Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail

Goin' there only faster

Jumping down and so it is in gear

But the fact of the matter

We're out of control asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel

We're out of control asleep at the wheel



Night falls with no grace

I said I can do anything

But I can do anything wrong

And the burning speed

The rate he says is catching up to me

But I'm already gone



I'm on the brink of disaster

Starin' down the consequences

So brake hard we'll be better

Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail

Goin' there only faster

Jumping down and so it is in gear

But the fact of the matter

We're out of control asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel



Tearin' it down to open up the highway

We're looking for an exit

No pretending

Speeding out and around with a silvering smash

Starin' at a car crash ohohohoh

The chase is ending



I'm on the brink of disaster

Starin' down the consequences

So brake hard we'll be better

Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail

I'm goin' there only faster

Jumping down and so it is in gear

But the fact of the matter

The end is coming



I'm on the brink of disaster

Starin' down the consequences

So brake hard we'll be better

We're out of control asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel

We're out of control asleep at the wheel
