Speed Kills Lyrics by Michael Hutchence

Freedom (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1982

Speed kills
(You beat eighty-five and ninety-five)
(Running each day on fuel injected things)
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday parts of all
And I'm knowin' it my way
(If you can catch the cab, crawl up north)
(Touch your sunstroke clouds, I'll be comin' too)
One step forward, two steps back
Two dollars on the video track
I love you, but can't you see
The big beat is killing me, killing me
(indistinctive background talking)
One shift down, two shifts late
You'll need your man who's at the factory again -?-
I love you, but can't you see
The big beat is killing me, killing me
(All my friends blow me off)
(Why do you ask me?)
