And you are in the eye
 There ain't no movement
 Things that could die
 But the reelin' and the spinnin'
 Of the rock and roll sides
 Will all be gone before midnight
 And die before sunrise

 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive
 If you know what it is
 And you wanna stay alive
 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive

 Yes, the corner's full of monkeys
 And your ear drum's full of lies
 Time is out the window
 And there's echoes in your sides
 They've been burnin' down your walls
 Ever since the peep of dawn
 And now the dealer's in the fireplace
 Tryin' to turn it on

 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive
 If you know that it's time
 And you oughtta take a dive
 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive

 Go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive
 You know what it is
 And you wanna stay alive
 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive

 Now the light road's gettin' restless
 Cause he knows your overdue
 But it's just another train ride
 Bein' all the same to you
 And the last shot's at your finger tips
 Like that flicker in the grass
 And the last cord hits the ashes
 And you know you gotta pass

 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive
 If you know that it's time
 And you oughtta take a dive
 You better go to overdrive
 Go to overdrive
