“When You’re Traveling at the Speed of Light” Lyrics

She’s got these eyes – these fiery eyes. She’s got these eyes, and when she sees me, they just light. Light up all the sky. She don’t even try. We were moving past the speed limit, and probably doing something that’s not right.
She gets these thoughts – these awful thoughts. The ones they drop upon your doorstep in a big black awful box, and no one knocks. They just let you find these thoughts. Well, when you’re traveling at the speed of light, you’re bound to undergo some sense of loss.
Who’s got no pain? Who has no pain? My point is: everyone, but everyone – but everyone – gets pain…but then it rains. And, if you’re lucky, someone stays. Though if you’re spinning that wheel ever on, you may be spinning ever on in vain.
We got away! We’ve got a way of taking all the roads but golden, and still somehow breaking day. We’re staying sane, and one more turn should be OK. See, if you’re striving to illuminate the night, you might as well use every lane.
She’s got these eyes – these fiery eyes! She’s got these eyes, and when she sees me they just cry – for all that’s Lost, and then they cry for all that’s Right. And if the thing that drives you onward is your heart, you must not let that engine die.
No, if the thing that drives you onward is your heart, you must not let that engine die.
Yes, if the thing that drives you onward is your heart, you must not let that engine die.
O, if the thing that drives you onward is your heart, you must not let that engine die.
