lyrics

Driving anywhere, just anywhere to get there
Asleep at the wheel with one eye wide awake

The moon’s well into its dream
As I ride inside a fuelled blood stream
Anywhere at anytime it thrives on
Filling my empty side

Unable to rest
Unwilling to stay behind
Insisting you take it everywhere
Like a cancerous cry

I adore you. It’s you that I idolize
I’ll live and die for you
As we strive for the morning’s high

Obsession never sleeps
You wake with it caressing your cheek
Just how can you ignore
The one thing you would die for?

You’re my enemy, my saviour
And my ever ruling dictator
That summons my thoughts towards
My infatuation

But a fatal fate awaits the greedy hand
Who’s bullied alone night and day
By their own demands

I adore you. It’s you that I idolize
I’ll live and die for you
And kill for the evening’s high
But it will never be the happiness you once had
