Overdrive

[Verse 1]

Well, the room is a cyclone and you are in the eye

There ain't no movement things that could die

But the reelin' and the spinnin' of the rock and roll sides

Will all be gone before midnight and die before sunrise

[Chorus]

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

If you know what it is and you wanna stay alive

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

[Verse 2]

Yes, the corner's full of monkeys and your eardrum's full of lies

Time is out the window and there's echoes in your sides

They've been burnin' down your walls ever since the peep of dawn

And now the dealer's in the fireplace tryin' to turn it on

[Chorus]

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

If you know that it's time and you oughta take a dive

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Go to overdrive, go to overdrive

You know what it is and you wanna stay alive

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

[Verse 3]

Now the landlord's gettin' restless 'cause he knows you're overdue

But it's just another train ride bein' all the same to you

And the last shot's at your finger tips like that flicker in the grass

And the last cord hits the ashes and you know you gotta pass

[Chorus]

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

If you know that it's time, and you oughta take a dive

You better go to overdrive, go to overdrive

[Instrumental Outro]
