(marshall crenshaw) Well i've got a new job in a gray office tower And i'm stuck here for around another hour Wearing a dark frown Watching the second hand go 'round When i can i'll leave without hesitation And make my way on to a better destination Racing the daylight Back to where i was last night Going seven miles an hour can't slow down Seven miles an hour burnin' the ground Cause i've got a good thing waiting way across town Seven miles an hour can't slow down The sidewalk's jammed up Now i wanna move in a hurry Have i found an angel? Well i think she might be If there ever was one Can't just walk, i've got to run Seven miles an hour can't slow down Seven miles an hour burnin' the ground Well i gotta good thing waiting way across town Seven miles an hour can't slow down Racing the daylight Back to where i was last night Seven miles an hour can't slow down Seven miles an hour burnin' the ground Cause i got a good thing waiting way across town Seven miles an hour can't slow down Seven miles an hour can't slow down Seven miles an hour can't slow down Seven miles an hour...
