Maximum Acceleration
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.
I thought you knew me by now
Let the lights go on roaring
Someone's hand on my shoulder - then
We passed a turning point
There was time for the taking
Chorus:
Maximum acceleration
Maximum acceleration
Maximum acceleration
A face echoes slowly
A signal close by me
The landscapes are changing - and -
Some of us flipped a coin
And shimmered away
(Chorus)
You really were aching
It's turning to twilight
Over and under - then -
A couple of figures shook their heads on the sidelines
(Chorus)
