Light starts in a dark place The story of a car chase And I’ve become the criminal And fleeing from this scene And being caught in a bad dream The truth becomes the unthinkable (yeah)
I’m on the brink of disaster Starin’ down the consequences So brake hard we’ll be better Tonight I’ll do what it takes to fail Goin’ there only faster Jumping down and so it is in gear But the fact of the matter We’re out of control asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel We’re out of control asleep at the wheel
Night falls with no grace I said I can do anything But I can do anything wrong And the burning speed The rate he says is catching up to me But I’m already gone
I’m on the brink of disaster Starin’ down the consequences So brake hard we’ll be better Tonight I’ll do what it takes to fail Goin’ there only faster Jumping down and so it is in gear But the fact of the matter We’re out of control asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel
Tearin’ it down to open up the highway We’re looking for an exit No pretending Speeding out and around with a silvering smash Starin’ at a car crash ohohohoh The chase is ending
I’m on the brink of disaster Starin’ down the consequences So brake hard we’ll be better Tonight I’ll do what it takes to fail I’m goin’ there only faster Jumping down and so it is in gear But the fact of the matter The end is coming
I’m on the brink of disaster Starin’ down the consequences So brake hard we’ll be better We’re out of control asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel Asleep at the wheel We’re out of control asleep at the wheel
