"Speedway" lyrics

"Speedway"

And when you slam down the hammer
Can you see it in your heart?

All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said
That they were completely unfounded

So when you slam down the hammer
Can you see it in your heart, can you delve so low?
And when you're standing on my fingers
Can you see it in your heart?
And when you try to break my spirit, it won't work
Because there's nothing left to break anymore

All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said
That they were completely unfounded

You won't sleep until the earth that wants me
Finally has me, oh, you've done it now
You won't rest until the hearse that becomes me
Finally takes me, oh, you've done it now
And you won't smile until my loving mouth
Is shut good and proper forever

All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded

And all those lies, written lies, twisted lies
Well, they weren't lies, they weren't lies, they weren't lies
I never said, I never said
I could have mentioned your name, I could have dragged you in
Guilt by implication, by association
I've always been true to you
In my own strange way, I've always been true to you
In my own sick way, I'll always stay true to you
