I'm a used metaphor after there's a necessary fight
And I grow tired and old faster than the
People who make sense all the time
You're speeding up to a hundred words per hour
You can't be stopped as long as you go so fast
But soon enough you'll upset the balance of power
You've got your engine running but your car is out of gas
I've been trapped in a hole
Maybe you could come and get me out
But you've been at it so long lately that you've
Forgotten what you're going on and on and on about
You're speeding up to a thousand words per hour
You can't be stopped and I don't know how long you'll last
But soon enough you'll be stuck in your ivory tower
You've got your alternator but your car is out of gas
Send down your report now, we'll handle your retort now
You act like it's a sport but you kind of came up short now
I hoped that we could weather and come back strong
Together just isn't in the cards
You're speeding up to a million words per hour
You're spinning out and there's no doubt that you'll crash
And soon enough you'll be needing a place to cower
You've got your radiator but your car is out of gas
You're speeding up, you're losing touch
And soon enough your lifestyle will drive you sour
And I would try to save you but my car is out of gas
