Speed kills Coming down the mountain Speed kills Coming down the street Speed kills With the presence of mind and Speed kills If you know what I mean Got to feel Woke up inside again Got to feel Less broke more fixed Got to feel When I got outside myself Got to feel When I touched your lips The things we do To the people that we love The way we break If there's something we can't take Destroy the world That we took so long to make We expect her gone For some time I wish her safe from harm To find yourself In a foreign land Another refugee Outsider refugee How's it feel Coming up roses How's it feel She's coming up sweet How's it feel When it's all in spite of you How's it feel When she's out of your reach The things we do To the people that we love The way we break If there's something in the way Destroy the world That we took so long to make We expect her gone For some time I wish her safe from harm To find yourself In a foreign land Another refugee Outsider refugee What happened to you? (x4) The things we do To the people that we love The way we break If there's something we can't take Destroy the world That we took so long to make The things we do To the people that we love (x3) The things we do To the people that we That we love
