"Joyride" lyrics - METRIC

What have we started?
Reverse locomotion
Predictions and planets align
Fire my apprentice
The expert back benchers
Predict a decline

Send an explosive goodbye to my restraint
Cover my ears and close my eyes
This is our last joy ride
If the abyss doesn't hide then
When I don't want to hear I just
Cover my ears and close my eyes

And when our next joy ride
Hits an abyss and we collide
Will you cover my ears if I cover your eyes

No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision
No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision

Ask me a question
I'm under hypnosis
I'm conscious and barely alive
I feel terrific
Effects soporific
My honest reply
Until the opposite side
Returns full strength then

Cover my ears and close my eyes
And when our next joy ride
Hits an abyss and we collide
Will you cover my ears if I cover your eyes

No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision
No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision
No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision
No stop it, momentum, slow motion, collision
