You can follow the road to the mountains, or the track leading down to the beach
You can go where you like, go left or go right, it's you in the driver's seat
But if the rain starts swamping your windscreen
And the lights don't pierce through the night
And the trucks coming at ya, just gonna splat you
And the highway is blinding and bright
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind
You're so deranged, you're going blind
You're driving too fast, you went straight past the curve and you’ll never go back
Yeah, driving too fast, the road was a blur and it all turned to black
Yeah, driving too fast, hang on to the wheel, I think you're gonna crash
You can see the freeway dividing, it's a pity you can't take them both
One leads to the valley or down some blind alley, the other runs down to the coast
Too many roads lead to nowhere, but how they twist and they turn
And a dead end in a dusty old strip mall, where your tires are all shredded and burned
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind
Going insane, you're going blind, yeah
You're driving too fast, you slid through the curve and ya slammed through the flat
Yeah, driving too fast, yeah, now you’ll never go back
And ya, driving too fast, yeah, it’s all turned to black, yeah
You're driving too fast, hang on for your life, I think you're gonna crash
You're going out of your brain, out of your mind, yeah
You're so deranged, you're going blind
Driving too fast, you went straight past the turn and you'll never go back
Yeah, driving too fast, you slid through the curve and you burnt up the track
Driving too fast, you're running out of gas, driving too fast, hang on to the wheel
I think we're gonna crash, yeah, driving too fast, yeah
