Speed

Devil

Devil

Devil

Devil gave me everything and now I have nothing left

He listens to my stories and he picks out which ones best

And when I start to panic, he blocks it from my chest

Says it's quiet mechanic, he says it's what sells best

And then it's to my bedroom, hanging words of mine

Ugly little cobwebs take up little time

But there's no stopping growing, there's no space to bleed

Like sunflowers on speed, I've got somewhere to be

Faster than a choirboy's voice

Breaking into deadly choices

Running with the right wrong boys

World is turning red rum coitus

Faster than a winter's night

Breaking into bleak midsummer

There's no stopping growing now

Faster than a garage drummer

Elephant and castle, sorry for the lust

Smoke it to the ashes, we play among the dust

And if we're doing good, they'll tell us that we're greedy

And if we're doing bad, well, then we're needing feeding

But there's no stopping growing, there's always space to breathe

Like sunflowers on speed, I've got somewhere to be

Faster than a choirboy's voice

Breaking into deadly choices

Running with the right wrong boys

World is turning red rum coitus

Faster than a winter's night

Breaking into bleak midsummer

There's no stopping growing now

Faster than a garage drummer

I've often met the barman, I think that he's convinced

That I'm the second coming of everything he's missed

So he's so eager to tell me, I've got to tell him straight

I'm choking on my drinking and I leave a bitter taste

I might be a soldier, I might go back to school

I might fall out of love and lose my mind to rules

But I'll tell you when I'm older and I'm wearing my true face

How I miss those sunny days and scrambling for a place
