The Glorious Sons - Speed of Light lyrics

One, two, three, four

Open your door, cars fly by
Down at the corner store the
Clerk's got a black eye
Junkies wait underneath his sign
Easy through the crowd, don't give 'em a dime

Take a left on Wilson while the sirens wail
Mother covers daughter's ears with
Her own pigtails
Up at the church through electric eyes
Down on heavy bells one man cries

I keep up with the speed of light
No one can see but I'm burning bright
I didn't choose to take the ride
I keep up with the speed of light, alright

Duck 'round thе corner, into the attic
Couple kids from thе mountain makin'
Out in the valley
Dusk comin' over like you seen it before
It's blue and it's red and
It's yellow and it's orange

There's colors you can't name
Things you'll never change
Blocks in the city that'll never rearrange
Your crying does no good
Neither does your shame
There's a bigger heart beatin'
Than you can understand

I keep up with the speed of light
No one can see but I'm burning bright
I didn't choose to take the ride
I keep up with the speed of light, alright

There are forces at work here
That we can't control, my dear

There are forces at work here
(I keep up with the speed of light)
That we can't control, my dear
(I keep up with the speed of light)

Look me in the eyes, my dear
(I Keep up with the speed of light)
And there are forces at work here, yeah
(I keep up with the speed of light)

I keep up with the speed of light
No one can see but I'm burning bright
I didn't choose to take the ride
I keep up with the speed of light

I keep up with the speed of light
No one can see but I'm burning bright
I didn't choose to take the ride
I keep up with the speed of light, alright
