I see the colors of the city lights
I move so fast I cannot read the signs
The city is breathing
I breath it in
I'm going downtown to see me girl again
And when I'm lonely she is still my friend
I cannot touch her now
She loves me anyhow

I know I move so fast
I know I move so fast, please keep up
I know I move too fast, I don't want to lose you now
I don't want to lose you now

I see the dreamers in their plastic cars
I watch them slinking into smokey bars
They want to drink the stars
They think they'll never reach
I'm going downtown on the same highway
Where it's not me and it's never my way
I cannot touch her now
I love her anyhow

We are only shadows
Ninety miles an hour
Your only skin
I want to touch
We are only shadows
Ninety miles per hour
Your only love
I don't want to lose you now

I know I move so fast
I know I move so fast, I know where I'm going
I know I move too fast, I don't want to lose you now
I don't want to go without
