about

Speed is a high-energy analogy of a man spinning out of control in his life.

lyrics

(The) greased chain screams, broken expectations
Gashing rocks leave the metal bear
A primary incision into a primary mind
(The) cold steal leaves its mark once again

Speedï¿½itï¿½s how I like to roll
My fuel is alcohol
Speedï¿½
Relief is only found in motion
Speedï¿½
Itï¿½s how I like to roll my fuel is alcoholï¿½

Consumption of a low grade fuel forever
His heart dented for eternity
(The) blood red trademark briefly shows itself
But is covered
The West wind conceals the Eastï¿½

Speedï¿½itï¿½s how I like to roll
My fuel is alcohol
Speedï¿½
Relief is only found in motion
Speedï¿½
Itï¿½s how I like to roll my fuel is alcoholï¿½

The piston moves quick and erratic
With pulsed rage; he hears the engines roar
Wheels in his mind spin recklessly; forever
as he swerves past the pain in road
