Everybody wants to want it

And everybody tries

But take a look at all their riches

My pile is twice the size



So forget the little people

Waiting in the wings

'Cause now is everything



The only survivor is the driver

Look out, look out now

The passenger's dead they can't revive her

Look out, look out now

You gotta stop pretending that you know better

'Cause i know what i need

I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed



Once upon a time I wondered

How to leave the ground

I learned you never make it anywhere

If you pussyfoot around



You gotta spit out the sour grapes

You're dying on the vine

And running out of time



The only survivor is the driver

Look out, look out now

The passenger's dead they can't revive her

Look out, look out now

You gotta stop pretending that you know better

'Cause I know what I need

I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed



I could give it up

And try to play it down for a while

I'd rather live it up

I'm warning you now

I'm cruising out of town



The only survivor is the driver

Look out, look out now

The passenger's dead they can't revive her

Look out, look out now

You gotta stop pretending that you know better

'Cause I know what I need

I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed

Unsafe at any speed
