As evening falls we take the fast lanes to the city We put tomorrow on the back seat for the night We don't question the direction we are headed Moving on instinct, attracted to the light Horizon towers that are inching even taller The skyline spreading like a feast before our eyes
We hit the sliproads as we spiral to the centre Beneath the halo of a yellow glow we glide Beyond the glass there's a million lights They look just like a curtain of stars That's slipped it's hooks somewhere in the sky And fallen on us
And it's dreams we're chasing with our city speed And it's blood that's racing through these veins Yes it's all embracing this city speed And the lights have changed for us again
Up from the tunnels we emerge into the hard glare The pulse mosaics of the corporation signs We're near the hub, we're near the heart of the machine now We get the temperature and then We get the time into a side street it's like
Someone switched the reels
Two sunken eyes say this is no film that I'm in Your heart would register a crack if you could feel it But you don't notice at the speed we're travelling
Beyond the glass there's a million lives All trying to swim this shimmering sea And into all this beauty we dive To drown ourselves free
And it's life we're chasing with our city speed We're the blood that's racing through these veins Yes it's all embracing this city speed And the lights have changed for us again
