[Verse 1]
Out of love – out of lust
All I had – I just turned to dust
Burned the crops – kept the cream
Scorched the Earth – my Nero Decree
Out of town – out of bounds
All I was - tomorrow won't be found
I am done with abstract whims
I am gone - absinthe without leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Gone and going too fast in a lucid thrill
Gone and going too fast on adrenaline
Gone and going too fast and I come alight
Then I hit the switch and I'm free to fly
[Chorus]
I set my controls to overdrive
[Verse 2]
Out of sight – out of reach
All i had – wasn't hard to ditch
Left the thorns – kept the rose
I am gone – rebel without pause
[Pre-Chorus]
Gone and going too fast in a lucid thrill
Gone and going too fast on adrenaline
Gone and going too fast and I come alight
Then I hit the switch and I I'm free to fly
[Chorus]
I set my controls to overdrive
[Bridge]
Out of control – I'm gone
Out of this world – I'm gone – I'm gone gone gone
I am gone – I shall never return
Future open wide
[Chorus]
I set my controls to overdrive
I set my controls, my whole damn life, to overdrive
