[Verse 1]
Deathwish in the fading light
Headlight pointing through the night
Never thought I'd see the day
Playing with my life this way
[Verse 2]
Gotta keep my foot right down
If I had wings I'd leave the ground
Burning in the outside lane
People think that I'm insane
Insane!
[Verse 3]
The day I take a bend too fast
Judgement that could be my last
I'll be wiped right off the slate
Don't wait up cause I'll be late
I'll be late
[Instrumental outro]
