Ultravox: "Maximum Acceleration" Lyrics

I thought you knew me by now

 Let the lights go on roaring

 Someone's hand on my shoulder

 Then whip past the turning point

 There's time for the taking

 

 Chorus:

 

 Maximum acceleration

 Maximum acceleration

 Maximum acceleration

 

 A face that goes slowly

 A signal close by me

 The landscapes are changing

 And some of us flipped a coin

 And shimmered away

 

 (Chorus)

 

 You really were aching

 It's turning to twilight

 Moving over and under

 Then a couple of figures

 Shook their heads of the high lines

 

 (Chorus)
