Redline Heaven

Needle buried past the warning City lights dissolve to lines Every sign says slow down now Every nerve says not this time I’ve seen caution build a prison I’ve seen fear waste perfect years So I spend mine in the fast lane With a grin stretched ear to ear One more second One more mile One more chance To outrun the dial I can hear the reaper breathing But he’s always just behind Redline Heaven Right on the edge One hand shaking hands with danger One hand hanging over the ledge Redline Heaven Every night’s a theft I keep stealing days tomorrow Death hasn’t collected yet Too fast Too far Redline Heaven With the devil in the rearview mirror Every sunrise feels borrowed Every heartbeat feels earned Most people wait for permission I prefer to make my turn I don’t need forever promised I don’t need a safer plan Give me speed, give me motion Give me everything I can One more second One more mile One more laugh In the face of the trial I can hear the reaper breathing But he’s always just behind Redline Heaven Right on the edge One hand shaking hands with danger One hand hanging over the ledge Redline Heaven Every night’s a theft I keep stealing days tomorrow Death hasn’t collected yet Too fast Too far Redline Heaven With the devil in the rearview mirror Someday maybe he’ll catch me Someday maybe he’ll win But not tonight Not this ride Not while the wheels still spin If the clock wants what I’m owing It’ll have to chase me down I’ve been running with the lightning And it likes having me around Redline Heaven Right on the edge One hand shaking hands with danger One hand hanging over the ledge Redline Heaven Every night’s a theft I keep stealing days tomorrow Death hasn’t collected yet Too fast Too far Redline Heaven With the devil in the rearview mirror Redline Heaven Born to run Every day I wake up breathing Feels like another one I’ve won Death hasn’t collected yet
