Speed of Light

There's a devil on my shoulder making me dance
There's a spring in my step up to heavy hearts

Appointments and deadlines sprout up like weeds
Can't tell what I want from what I need

Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right
No more living, living at the speed of light

It's been 10,000 years since we first walked upright 
Built a home, built a lamp that will tell day from night 
Take from this world that was made 
Before it's chewed up and spat up on the way

In a world that's forever inventing the wheel 
Look for guilty and changing that's gotta stay real 
Find a place in my head that's less wrong than right 
No more living, no more living at the speed of light

And if you follow the whims of the man at the top
End up stealing and dealing and losing their blood
Chasing and chasing a dream you once had it's mad 
See the circles you ran

Gonna run to the city of permanent joy 
All deadlines fall victim and time is destroyed 
By the place in my head that's less wrong than right
No more living, no more living at the speed of light

You sell the freedom at gunpoint I ain't gonna buy
You shout in my ear i just stare at the sky 
From the place in my head that's less wrong than right 
I ain't living, I ain't living at the speed of light
