Speed Trap

Like the other night
Her Mercury's rising
But not in retrograde
She decries the orbit she made

Like a mother's lie
It's just temporary
Love will burn the shade
Thin disguise and truth delayed

Driving and striving she stays on the right
Pacing displacing all those dotted lines
Everyone asks how she is all the time
All she replies

I won't slow down
I swear I'm fine I swear we're fine
Time won't slow down
I said I'm fine Yeah, no, we're fine

It's another fight
Mercurial sighing
He can't act his age
He won't try to paraphrase

In another life
She would still make her
And find another way
To defy the orbit she's made

Driving and striving she stays on the right
Pacing displacing all those dotted lines
Everyone asks how she is all the time
All she replies
I won't slow down
I swear I'm fine I swear we're fine
Time won't slow down
I said I'm fine Yeah, no, we're fine

I won't slow down
I swear I'm fine I swear we're fine
Time won't slow down
I said I'm fine I'll tell you why

I'm so damn fine that I could break in the breeze
Your lips will slip, I will do as I please
Your yellow lines wasted time
Erase the paint Now she's mine

I won't slow down
Now that you signed, I'm feeling fine

I won't slow down
I swear I'm fine I swear we're fine
Time won't slow down
I said I'm fine But don't cross my line

I won't slow down
I swear I'm fine I swear we're fine
Time won't slow down
I said I'm fine Yeah, no, we're fine
