My time is wasting

feel I'm moving too slow

Can't get my pedal to the metal

But I'm ready to go.

Live in the fast lane

there's trouble ahead

better move over

you're a long time dead 



I'm chasing rainbows

in the cold light of day

feels like I'm wasting 

my lifetime away

Breaking the limits

bending the rules

can't stand standing still

but speed is for fools



Chorus 



I move better in the night

I won't stop til the day light

It makes me feel right

I move better in the night.

Out on the freeway

everybody pays

throw in my money

or I'm waiting for days.

I'm overheating

ready to burn

there's dirt on my wheels

but they're ready to turn. 



Chorus 



Fender to fender

nose to tail

mind over matter

I just can't fail

lights going down

give me some more

come on I'm ready to roar 



Chorus
