The day I came to town You could see the look in my eye Some thought I was a demon Some said it made them want to cry The way I looked at you A practiced smile against the grain I blame all those crazy years This kid has finally gone insane Am I drowning cos' I can't breathe Was I so blind, I couldn't see Should I slow down can you taste the greed Cos' I feel the need... the need for speed The trust you put in me Has all but gone fade to grey The word amongst the righteous "His souls no good" they all would say I'm an angel for the devil I'm the saint of all things fast Try an follow me, your leader I'll take you to a higher mast I'll live the way to choose The curious ask question why Flying high amongst the clouds Excuse me while I kiss the sky The need, the need for speed I feel the need I feel the need The need for speed Need for speed
