Speed Demon

By Huey Lewis

If every problem could be solved with just one answer
I'd keep the questions and live my life with cancer
The more I give I keep until my gears stop shifting
I close my eyes until my wheels, they start drifting

Can't stop screaming
My eyes are bleeding
I'm buried alive and I don't know why I'm still breathing

Can't stop screaming
My eyes are bleeding
Until my soul is blind... Speed Demon

The pictures on the wall are nothing but old feelings
If I slowed down at all I'd feel as though I'm cheating
The end is near and did you make a good impression
The caskets made as I die of old obsessions

Can't stop screaming
My eyes are bleeding
Every time I sleep I can't get off the ceiling

Can't stop screaming
My eyes are bleeding
Until my soul is blind... Speed Demon

    I love your lyrics. This one is very different compared to others. "If every problem could be solved with just one answer" I wish. Great write.
