Nowhere Fast Lyrics by Meat Loaf

Bad Attitude

0

It's getting cold, it's getting dark
The nights are longer everyday
The air is heavy and the clouds will never burn away
And we've been waiting here so long
That we've forgotten what it's like
To run into the fire lookin' straight into the
Straight into the light
Your heart is tryin' to rock
But it can barely beat at all
Your soul is tryin' to run
But all your body does is crawl

You don't need any signal
You don't need any sign
Nothin's gonna stop you once you cross over the line
I want to tear it all apart and take the clothes right off your back
We're tearin' down the highway and we're breakin' away
Breakin' away
Breakin' away
We're breakin' away from the pack
Oh breakin' away from the pack

And if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And your speed it's all you'll ever need
All you'll ever need to know

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
It's so much better goin' nowhere fast

You shouldn't always see your world so clearly
You shouldn't always know your place so well
And all we're doin' here is hangin' around
And goin' anywhere has got to be heaven
Cuz stayin' here is gonna be hell
And goin' anywhere has got to be heaven
Cuz stayin' here has gotta be hell

I'm getting lost, I'm getting found
I'm getting born again each day
We're dyin' on the vine until we finally
Til we finally get away
The boundaries of this town are closin' in just like a noose
The future's gonna rust if we don't put it to some
Put it to some use
Your heart is tryin' to rock
But it can barely beat at all
Your soul is tryin' to run
But all your body does is crawl

You don't need any signal
You don't need any sign
Nothin's gonna stop you once you cross over the line
I want to tear it all apart and take the clothes right off your back
We're tearin' down the highway and we're breakin' away
Breakin' away
Breakin' away
We're breakin' away from the pack
Breakin' away from the pack

And if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And even if you don't have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll
And your speed it's all you'll ever need
All you'll ever need to know

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast

You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast

(Fading out)
You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
And we gotta get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
Everybody's goin' nowhere slowly
They're only fighting for the chance to be last
There's nothing wrong with goin' nowhere baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast
It's so much better goin' nowhere fast
