Fortune was a luxury
And now they've made me out to be
A sparkled heart that cannot shine
And all my words run out of time
Speeding down the motorway
And I can't hear a word you say
I side step all the answers
The million dollar dancers
Taking all the chances
To sell the world for free
There's nothing left to be
Except for you and me
All the drowning in between
Get out before you're beat
I'm speeding down the motorway
I still can't hear a word you say
And everything just sounds the same
I wonder who can save the day
I side step all the answers
We could be the dancers
Taking all the chances
To sell the world for free
The foolish and the whispers
The false and jealous drifters
The words don't match the pictures
The context incomplete
There's nothing left to be
Except for you and me
All the drowning in between
Get out before you're beat
Get out before you're beat
Get out before you're beat
Carry me away, carry me away, babe
Carry me away, carry me away, babe
The future's had its day
The paths disintegrate
Downs become so straight
Shuffles with the wait
And I've been running with the days
Launching into space
Dancing into fray
Falling into place
Carry me away, carry me away, babe
Shadows in disgrace
Wanders in the waste
Turns without a trace
Stumbling for days
And I've been needing an escape
As the shine begins to shame
And the eyes are on the fade
And, baby, you're a strange, strange, strange girl
