Lyrics

Speed Kills

[Verse 1]

One fine day

I started writing home

One finds

It's so hard to make it

[Bridge]

It's gotta be the right time

It's gotta be the right kind line

It's gotta be the mainline

[Interlude]

(It’s gotta be, gotta be, gotta be, gotta be)

(Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be, gotta be)

(Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be)

(Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be)...

[Verse 2]

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day

[Outro]

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day

One fine day...
