Ton Up (live at Oslo)

from Heart Attack: Live at Oslo by Mercury Heart

lyrics

Looking at the road behind / And the stretch ahead
I see all the casualties / The bleeding and the dead
Listening to my engine / The needle still says go
My tyres are bald my clutch has slipped / it’s too late to slow

My life’s at a hundred miles an hour
On the turn I’ve fed on too much power
Will I make it no-one ever has
But I can’t ease it off I love the buzz

Two wheels good and four wheels bad / Windows kill your dreams
Two wheels good no wheels bad / The revs block out the screams

My life’s at a hundred miles an hour…

Flash on by the revs are high the wind weighs on your chest
Hold on tight and twist the knife no time to have a rest
No journey’s end just straight and bend don’t let the engine die
Run on fumes, run on air, don’t let your tank run dry

Looking at the road behind / And the stretch ahead
I see all the casualties / The bleeding and the dead
Listening to my engine / The needle still says go
My tyres are bald my clutch has slipped / it’s too late to slow

My life’s at a hundred miles an hour…
