Standard (EADGBE)

Feel the speed through the intersection

Sheets of rain I seek out cars

Hands in gloves grip handlebars

Ride alone to the pub in the dark

I get a little wet but I don't have to park

 And the lights start flashing green and red as I ride

A car turns left and I slide

i can't turn back

i make contact

Blinkers smash into mosaic

 Then I start flying

Always think we get more time

Now flying through the air

 Maybe living maybe dying

In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind

Don't we always wish had more time

I'm thrust slow mo through time and space

Details smash, protect my face

 And then I see yours

 And go to a time when we just knew

Mister death in the car below

 Doesn't even slow

And away he goes

 In the majesty of a motor crash

 You skid into my darkness

Sex and death, heartbreak and strife

 Well they give no warning

Always think we get more time

Now flying through the air

 Maybe living maybe dying

In this motor crash it's you who comes to mind

In the red lights and cathedrals there a sign

Don't we always wish we had more time

 Here it comes

my hit and run

Always think we get more time

Then you're flying through the air

 With someone on your mind

In the shattered glass reflections there's a sign

 Cause you were there and I wish we had more time

I Come down hard and roll to my feet

And rain washes blood now off concrete

People turn away and I just had to laugh

Cause I'm still flying

Living and dying

Always think we get more time

You're flying through the air

 with someone on your mind

In this motorcycle crashing is a sign

 Cause you were there and I wish we had more time

 You were there

And I'd like to thank mister death for what he's done

 Cause I got to walk away from my hit and run

Mysteries are not so empty now as they seemed

 Cause I saw you

At my hit and run

At my hit and run
