Speed Lyrics by Billy Idol

The Very Best of Billy Idol: Idolize Yourself

0

[Verse 1]
Running from the nightmare
In the middle of the road
Hell's no place for sleeping
In a world beyond control
Caught in the headlights
Coming after you
When I woke up this morning
I had to do what I gotta do
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Yow!

[Chorus]
Speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels

[Verse 2]
I've seen a train full of pain
On the edge of overload
We're in Heaven, baby
You are gonna implode
I've got these crazy feelings
That I can't explain
I've got to save you, baby
Or I'll die in vain
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said, blast me to Heaven just for loving you
Yow!

[Chorus]
I said speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said, blast me to Heaven for loving you
Yow!

[Chorus + Outro]
Aww
Now I'm rushing on the run, yeah
I wanna have me some fun
I'll speed
Give me what I need
Oh, set me free
Let's speed
On wheels, on wheels, on wheels
Said speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
C'mon
Yow
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
All right
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
