Metric - Joyride lyrics

What have we started? Reverse locomotion Predictions and planets align Fire my apprentice The expert back benchers Predict a decline Send an explosive goodbye to my restraint Cover my ears and close my eyes This is our last joy ride If the abyss doesn't hide then When I don't want to hear I just Cover my ears and close my eyes And when our next joy ride Hits an abyss and we collide Will you cover my ears if I cover your eyes No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision Ask me a question I'm under hypnosis I'm conscious and barely alive I feel terrific Effects soporific My honest reply Until the opposite side Returns full strength then Cover my ears and close my eyes And when our next joy ride Hits an abyss and we collide Will you cover my ears if I cover your eyes No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision
