100 MPH (In 2nd Gear)

[Verse 1]
A long, long time ago
But not so long ago though
Days went slow but the weeks flew fast
Flying past and calling us, "Hurry up!"

[Verse 2]
Some people push and shove
Other ones aren’t tough enough
Chewing things over and over inside
Then down that chute they slide by the wayside

[Chorus]
It’s like driving one hundred miles
Per hour in second gear
Jumped through one too many hoops to prove
You shoot not in cold blood but fear

[Verse 3]
This place is so austere
But I feel safe in here
Feels like a little prison in my mind
No blinds to draw down when the dark decides

[Chorus]
It’s like driving one hundred miles
Per hour in second gear
Jumped through one too many hoops to prove
You shoot not in cold blood but fear

[Verse 4]
Rain’s coming down thick and fast
Pressed up against the glass
The cold precision of the wipers
Do nothing to make our journey brighter

[Outro]
It’s like driving one hundred miles
Per hour in second gear
Jumped through one too many hoops to prove
You shoot not in cold blood but fear
It’s like driving one hundred miles
Per hour in second gear
Jumped through one too many hoops to prove
You shoot not in cold blood but feeeeeeeeeear
