I was driving down deserted back roads
Past glistening branches
About a hundred miles an hour
I was past the point of caring
People sharing and thoughts of power

I was guessing I was too late
I was thinking how it'd be great
You and I can't hesitate

For as the world is turning
You'll be falling into the darkest hour
For as the world is turning
You'll be slipping into an acid shower
For as the world is turning
You'll be falling into the darkest hour to date

I was thinking about you and me and what a waste
But hey who's counting?
The run down buildings
The rusted cars and the mistakes
The tension's mounting

I was guessing I was too late
I was thinking how it'd be great
We'll be lost if we hesitate
