Can't Slow Down Lyrics - Singles - The Gone Jackals

I'm driving hard, punching holes in the heat 

The air is clammy, a hamper full of nightmare's sheets. 

I'm goin' fast like a fading blonde 

No time for nothing but goin, goin', goin' - gone. 

My brakes are failing, blasting through all the lights 

My radiator's been blown since I was five. 

The night is clinging and the sidewalks reel 

My body's rusted, I'm rotten, screaming steel. 

Tire treads are smooth and hot 

goin' 'round. 

Sirens wailing long and loud 

but what's a man to do 

If he can't slow down. 

I'm knockin', knockin' underneath my hood. 

Don't you inspect me, you know I just ain't no good. 

I'm spittin' licorice in the D.M.Z. 

Both sides sit helpless - ironic equality. 

Like a warrior who fights without shield 

I'll go down. 

You'll see me smashed to bits in this town 

long before I'm due 

'Cause I can't slow down.
