Stealing away from that old nightmare
Speeding... speeding, I am stealing

Against the grain, unrestrained
I''ve invented a different game
and I''m dealing, dealing, now I''m dealing

Something out there is calling me
Beckoning me with urgency
Speeding... speeding, I am leaving

Oh saints alive, bless my soul
Driverless, now I''m in control
Speeding... speeding, time is needing

Bad pennies return from whence they came
I''ll be back like a boomerang...
... boom boom boom boom

Speeding away with no time to spare
Speeding away from the same nightmare
Freedom... freedom, icy freedom

The trail ahead is dark and unsound
but I''m lapping it up like a greedy hound
Free at last of the city sounds
Free at last to put my foot right down
... boom boom boom boom

Shut your eyes, let''s hold hands
Overtaking on the tightest bends
Throw the dice, toss a penny in the air
Heads or tails, the devil may care

Speeding... speeding, time is needing
Bad pennies return from whence they came
It all comes back like a boomerang...
... boom boom boom boom
