You tell me I can't slow down, you tell me where I've gotta be
   I speed into the darkness, but I swear that I can't see a thing in front of me
   you know it's true, I'm not driving anymore
   I can't keep up with you
   you're closing in behind me, I've got headlights in my eyes, Don't you get too close to me
   can't you see that we'll collide, and end up casualties
   there's just no room, I'm not driving anymore
   I can't keep up with you, so leave me on my own
  
   brought me down and race away, from me
   I've got nowhere to go to, I don't think I can get back on my feet, back on my feet
   It came right out of nowhere - eyes wide and terrified
   and I can't put my brakes on, I can't swerve to save your life
   cause then I'll lose control, and I can't choose, I'm not driving anymore
   I can't keep up with you, so leave me on my own
  
   brought me down and race away from me, I've got nowhere to go to
   I don't think I can get back on my feet, back on my feet
   get me out of harmsway, can't you see I'm paralysed
   I wanna fade out gracefully, but you keep keeping me alive
   to face another day, can't you see I'm through
   I'm not driving anymore, I can't keep up with you, can't keep away
  
   tell me how long have I got, I wanna end this earthly toil
   till this diet life expires, I wanna go swimming in the soil
   and not come up for breath, sit in God's room
   I'm not driving anymore, I can't keep up with you
  
   unfit for consumption, I don't know how to play my part
   I swear I'm alone in this thing, I'm a blind man driving my car
   into oblivion, let it come soon, I'm not driving anymore
   I can't keep up with you
