There's a devil on my shoulder making me dance
There's a spring in my step up to heavy hearts
Appointments and deadlines sprout up like weeds
Can't tell what I want from what I need
Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right
No more living, living at the speed of light
It's been 10,000 years since we first walked upright
Built a home, built a lamp that will tell day from night
Take from this world that was made
Before it's chewed up and spat up on the way
In a world that's forever inventing the wheel
Look for guilty and changing that's gotta stay real
Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right
No more living, no more living at the speed of light
[catching my breath on the underground]
[where the faces never lie]
[obsessed with what will come next]
[peering from the corner of their eye]
[and the only way to be is slip into a dream]
[and let the voice in my head]
[be my only guide]
And if you follow the whims of the man at the top
End up stealing and dealing and losing their blood
Chasing and chasing a dream you once had it's mad
See the circles you ran
Gonna run to the city of permanent joy
All deadlines fall victim and time is destroyed
By the place in my head that's less wrong than right
No more living, no more living at the speed of light
You sell the freedom at gunpoint I ain't gonna buy
You shout in my ear i just stare at the sky
From the place in my head that's less wrong than right
I ain't living, I ain't living at the speed of light
There's a spring in my step up to heavy hearts
Appointments and deadlines sprout up like weeds
Can't tell what I want from what I need
Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right
No more living, living at the speed of light
It's been 10,000 years since we first walked upright
