Are you floating at the speed of light?
Did you notice I'm a speeding type?
No is the answer.
Go a little faster.
But we'll be moving,
Yeah we stay cruising at 1000 feet,
You sold your soul for free.
It's really something,
To be afraid of nothing at 1000 feet,
You saved yourself for me.
Are you healing from the scars you caused?
Did you notice that the scars were yours?
No is the answer.
Go a little faster.
But we'll be moving,
Yeah we stay cruising at 1000 feet,
You sold your soul for free.
It's really something,
To be afraid of nothing at 1000 feet,
You saved yourself for me.
Put your face first through the cloud cover,
And if you're faithless, find another.
And if you need to we'll find a lover.
We'll be moving through the cloud cover.
But we'll be moving,
Yeah we stay cruising at 1000 feet,
You sold your soul for free.
It's really something,
To be afraid of nothing at 1000 feet,
