Life Speeds Up

<br>The clouds in the sky are all rushing by<br>A stare`s just a backwards glance<br>The years and the days are all melting away<br>Yet you still won`t take a chance<br>But life speeds up, don`t you know, don`t you know<br>The push and the throb, the threat of the mob<br>The crack`s not a secret this time<br>The mouths and the doors, now I can`t shut anymore<br>Keep running, you`re falling behind<br>The world spins alone, the weight of it groans<br>I get dizzy just turning the page<br>The air holds us down and we`re stuck on the ground<br>Trying to slip off our age<br>Come to the window come to the door<br>Given under my hand given under the law<br>I gave you everything you still want more<br>They gave you some mad forgotten war<br>Now it`s time to slow things down<br>Because I told you life speeds up<br>Tell me how it happened did it hurt did you cry<br>Did you ever feel yourself falling out of the sky<br>Did you ever lie awake and wonder why<br>Did you ever fall asleep and dream that you died<br>We grind to a halt and we start again<br>We come to a corner but it`s only a bend<br>And all those broken promises they never end<br>Who cares if it`s mad when it`s only pretend
