maximum acceleration

i thought you knew me by now

let the lights go on roaring

someone's hand on my shoulder

then whip past the turning point

there's time for the taking

maximum acceleration

maximum acceleration

maximum acceleration

a face that goes slowly

a signal close by me

the landscapes are changing

and some of us flipped a coin

and shimmered away

you really were aching

it's turning to twilight

moving over and under

then a couple of figures

shook their heads of the high lines
