Speed Trap
Like the other night
Her Mercury’s rising
Not in retrograde
She decries the orbit she made
Like a mother’s lie
It’s just temporary
Love will burn the shade
Thin disguise; truth delayed
Driving and striving she stays on the right
Pacing displacing all those dotted lines
Everyone asks how she is all the time
All she replies ….
//
I won’t slow down. I swear I’m fine. I swear we’re fine.
Time won’t slow down. I said I’m fine! Yeah, no, we’re fine.
//
It’s another fight
Mercurial sighing
He can’t act his age
He won’t try to paraphrase
In another life
She would still make her
Find another way
To defy the orbit she’s made.
Driving and striving she stays on the right
Pacing displacing all those dotted lines
//
I won’t slow down. I swear I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.
Time won’t slow down. I said I’m fine! Yeah, no, we’re fine.
I won’t slow down. I swear I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.
Time won’t slow down. But don’t cross my line.
//
I’m so damn fine but I could break in the breeze
Your grip will slip and then I’ll do as I please
Your yellow lines wasted time
Erase the paint. Now she’s mine.
I won’t slow down. Now that you signed. I’m feeling fine.
//
I won’t slow down. I swear I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.
Time won’t slow down. I said I’m fine! Yeah, no, we’re fine.
I won’t slow down. I swear I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.
Time won’t slow down. But don’t cross my line.
