Two... One... GO. [Immediate electronic rhythm] [Verse 1] Midnight on the dashboard Green lights down the avenue Everybody's going somewhere Tonight I don't need to Windows down, the air is colder Street signs vanish as we pass Every second moving faster Every shadow falling back [Pre-Chorus] Don't ask where we're going Don't tell me where we've been The whole city's wide awake And we're disappearing in— [Chorus] Run until the lights blur Until the colors become one Until the night turns electric And we outrun the rising sun Run until the streets fade Until there's nothing left but sound We don't need a destination Just don't slow down Don't slow down [Instrumental – rapid arpeggios, driving breakbeat, huge melodic synth hook] [Verse 2] Red signs in the rearview White lines underneath our feet Neon spilling through the windows Keeping time against the beat Every intersection flashes Like another starting line Take the long way through the city We've got nothing here but time [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we're escaping Maybe we're alive Maybe there's no difference At a hundred miles of light [Chorus] Run until the lights blur Until the colors become one Until the night turns electric And we outrun the rising sun Run until the streets fade Until there's nothing left but sound We don't need a destination Just don't slow down Don't slow down [Extended Instrumental – fast melodic breakbeat, arpeggios accelerating] [Breakdown – heartbeat, distant vocals] Wait... Listen. [City ambience] For one second Everything is still. [beat] Then— RUN. [Massive instrumental return] [Bridge] Maybe morning finds us nowhere Maybe nowhere's what we need No plans waiting in the distance No signs telling us to leave There's a whole world in the headlights And another one behind Tonight belongs to motion So leave everything behind [Build – increasingly fast] Faster Faster Don't look back Faster Faster— Here it comes [Final Chorus – huge] Run until the lights blur Until the skyline starts to glow Until the darkness breaks around us And there's nowhere left to go Run until the stars fade Until the morning floods the town We never needed a destination We just needed out So don't slow down Don't slow down DON'T SLOW DOWN [Huge Extended Instrumental – euphoric melodic climax] [Outro – rhythm gradually falling away, city ambience returning] [breathing] The sun's coming up. ...again tomorrow? [Final synth note]
