Lyrics and composition by Shawn Pallister. Piano and vocals recorded live at No Fun Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Lyrics:
Car exhaust and cigarette smoke
Metropolitan perfume
There were all kinds of beautiful things
And you like 'em shiny, don't you?
You can kill yourself trying, did you know that?
And too many people do
I don't like being passed on the highway
I pushed the pedal to the floor so no one could catch up to me
And when the engine started to roar
I blamed the manufacturing
I was having the time of my life
But it was taking the life out of me
I add another trophy to the shelf
Where it stands for a day
'Til I push it aside to make room for every
Record I have yet break
There's gold at the end of the rainbow, did you hear that?
So I'll chase it endlessly
I don't like being passed on the highway
I pushed the pedal to the floor so no one could catch up to me
And when the engine started to roar
I blamed the manufacturing
Too much noise can kill you, did you know that?
But I can't keep quiet and neither can this city
Running, running, running
Running off my feet
Don't, can't, won't stop for a breath
Won't stop for a beat
I was having the time of my life
I was having the time of my life
But it was taking the life out of me.
