Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Side-walk social scientist
Don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten
Time is running out
Lock up all your memories
Get outta here you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean
We can run Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive

Hanging on a frequency - burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down
It's getting late I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here
Time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean
We can run Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive.
