Lyrics
Joyride
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What have we started?
Reverse full commotion
Predictions and planets aligned
Fire my apprentice
The expert back benches
Predict or decline
Send an explosive goodbye
To my restraint
Cover my ears and close my eyes
This is our last joyride
If the abyss doesn't hide
Then I turn my ear
I just cover my ears and close my eyes
And when our next joyride
Hits an abyss and we collide
You cover my ears if I cover your eyes
No stopping momentum
Slow motion collision
No stopping momentum
Slow motion collision
Ask me a question
I'm under hypnosis
Unconscious and barely alive
I feel terrific
Effect soporific
My honest reply
Until the opposite side
Returns full strength
Cover my ears and close my eyes
And when the next joyride
Hits an abyss and we collide
You cover my ears if I cover your eyes
No stopping momentum
Slow motion collision
No stopping momentum
Slow motion collision
No stopping momentum
Slow motion collision
No stopping momentum
Slow motion collision
