No Brakes

[furrypedro]

Balance Lost feat. Thanks For The Frisbee

What are those lights on top of that hill
Never saw 'til that sleeping pill kicked in
I've got thick skin
You've got to break when the thing don't need fixing

Boredom makes the time go slow
TV forces us to go nowhere
Vacant stare
Brakes off on the big hills for a dare

Hey, these wheels were fitted with no brakes
Ride 'em or die, but it's okay
I'll replace you with plastic and metal
And plasma and throw you away
I'll throw you away
For someone to find and rebuild you again

A furnace forging golden rings
Only promising the things you need
20 seasons
Just wondering where that highway leads

These are the chains that you can't see
Strengthened by complacency and greed
Let's get free
Last one to the moon has to make tea

Hey, these wheels were fitted with no brakes
Ride 'em or die, but it's okay
I'll replace you with plastic and metal
And plasma and throw you away
I'll throw you away
For someone to find and rebuild you again

Hey, these wheels were fitted with no brakes
Ride 'em or die, but it's okay
I'll replace you with plastic and metal
And plasma and throw you away
I'll throw you away
For someone to find and rebuild you again

i'm feeling numb
head banging drum
where i come from,
i'll die another day

what happened to me
setting myself free
an absentee
I'm turning away

(chorus)
I know I could be stronger
Hold on a little longer
Try not to fall in the water
But I've heard enough

I just keep going faster
Heading towards disaster
Too late to stop me after
I've heard enough


Too late for me
So let me be
We'll just have to see
how this all works out

What things may come
I'm feeling dumb
Gonna succumb
To another bout

[chorus]

[instrumental]

How hard I try
I'm asking why
staying dry
for now i'm fine

too late, it's done
it's time to run
under the gun
your life is on the line

No Brakes - Paco del Stinko

Cruisin' down 97 in my Cadillac
Going to the dealership to bring it back
Round the bend on Broadway and past Saint Joe's
There goes the bowling alley and the funeral home

Down down down down
da-da-da-da down down

I touch the pedal with my right foot
And nothing happens, I could be cooked
I mash down hard and still no luck
Screeching tires smoking now as I graze a truck

Down down down down
da-da-da-da down down

Give me a break, I got no brakes
(For goodness sake)

Here comes Marble Motors on my right side
I couldn't make the turn even if I tried
My only chance to stop is in the bakery
Gonna smash the window and cakes and pastries

Down down down down
da-da-da-da down down

So here I sit in a pie filled rubble
But I ain't worried cause I ain't in trouble
My name is Karelitz, esquire to you
The Caddy dealership is the one that's screwed

Down down down down
da-da-da-da down down

Verse: D Bm7 A6 Gmaj7
No brakes
earthquakes
a wrong turn is all it takes
You make
mistakes
ache from another heartbreak

There’s nothing certain in life
some choices you make don’t turn out right
You wake up to another day
Hoping you’ll see in a different way

Coast down
gather speed
Look for comfort from this need
might hurt
but I’ll try
to break our fall when we collide

There’s nothing certain in life
some choices you make don’t turn out right
You wake up to another day
Hoping you’ll see in a different way

Bridge: Bm G
If I slow down, will you pace me
If I speed up, will you race me
Got this feeling, I won't give up
Don’t erase the, past we’ve built up

There’s nothing certain in life
some choices you make don’t turn out right
You wake up to another day
Hoping you’ll see in a different way

There’s nothing certain in life
some choices you make don’t turn out right
You wake up to another day
Hoping you’ll see in a different way

No Brakes - Drew Styles and the Blue Velvet Band

I've stood in line, did my time, and still I had to get stoned
all for the simple pleasure of being stoned
i've been in i've been out now i'm up and i can't get down
just can't get my feet back on the ground

I'm Going downhill fast in a vehicle the Devil makes
train stations at the bottom and this car has no brakes

they tell me where there is a will there is a way
but you can't get blood from a stone or so they say.
I was down I was out and they had me by the throat.
and when the shit came down I was the goat.

I'm Going downhill fast in a vehicle the Devil makes
train stations at the bottom and this car has no brakes

I'm Going downhill fast in a vehicle the Devil makes
train stations at the bottom and this car has no brakes

Life, they say is short but it's much too long
all I know for certain is that i'm wrong
I've lived and I've loved and I've learned from a lot of mistakes
I had faith and I prayed but the preachers are all a fakes

well they're driving a locomotive that the devil makes
and the red horned bastard built the thing without any brakes
