Buried in the Red

Buried in the Red

The Protomen

Lyrics
This city never stood a chance against the dying of the light
[00:21.92] But I found the engine, slid the key in the ignition, and gave it life
[00:29.49] When I pressed the pedal down the roar it let out split the night!
[00:36.60] And for a while, I let it go. It kept itself between the lines.
[00:44.36] The needle buried in the red and soon I heard the engine whine.
[00:48.50] But everything's fine.
[00:50.66] Oh, I can't let up. No, I won't slow it down/
[00:58.59] Doesn't mattеr where we'll end up.
[01:04.70] I'll keep thе pedal to the ground.
[01:10.87] But I close my eyes, I see it shining like a vision in my mind.
[01:18.31] I know the way, getting closer everyday to what is mine
[01:25.91] You've only got yourself to blame if you get left behind
[01:32.86] Get up, get back in line!
[01:39.79] Oh, but don't stand in my way this time!
[01:45.59]
[02:05.50] Now, it takes both hands on the wheel to even keep it on the road
[02:12.79] But if I keep stoking the fear, there is no distance I can't go
[02:20.34] No one hears the scream to slow it down as I turn up the radio.
[02:26.67] Here we go!
[02:28.49]
[02:58.71] Speed up, no, I won't slow it down
[03:05.99] If I let up, no, I won't let up now
[03:13.35] Though the engine, it makes a howling sound
[03:20.78] Oh, I can almost hear them.
[03:22.50] I can almost hear the hounds.
[03:25.48]
