Overdrive

[Verse 1]
Well, the room is a cyclone
And you are in the eye
There ain't no movement
Things that could die
But the reelin' and the spinnin'
Of the rock and roll sides
Will all be gone before midnight
And die before sunrise

[Chorus]
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
If you know what it is
And you wanna stay alive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive

[Verse 2]
Yes, the corner's full of monkeys
And your eardrum's full of lies
Time is out the window
And there's echoes in your sides
They've been burnin' down your walls
Ever since the peep of dawn
And now the dealer's in the fireplace
Tryin' to turn it on

[Chorus]
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
If you know that it's time
And you oughta take a dive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
You know what it is
And you wanna stay alive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive

[Verse 3]
Now the landlord's gettin' restless
'Cause he knows you're overdue
But it's just another train ride
Bein' all the same to you
And the last shot's at your finger tips
Like that flicker in the grass
And the last cord hits the ashes
And you know you gotta pass

[Chorus]
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
If you know that it's time
And you oughta take a dive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
