Sights white, out of either glass side, I head pivot slowly
One bag carries all that we have, sad, but it made it easy
I'll play you cards for a drink in the dining car, you owe me one anyway
These eyes only just goin wide, time for anything everyday
Chorus:
210 miles an hour, watching the lightening delay
That was then now I keep your picture just to remind me
Last drop, smoke alone on a rooftop, down, up above the crazies
Gone by, I'm still actin so shy, uptown, wanna come and save me?
I swear I had seen you step out of a cab, tricks that your mind plays
These eyes only just growing wise, time can make things just disintegrate.
Chorus:
210 miles an hour, watching the lightening delay
That was then now I keep your picture just to remind me
Who knew you'd have things so heavy, there's barely a bright side to see
I say I'll come to the rescue with perfect timing
Bridge:
On the riverbed, all names were set in steel
Lookin in from the outside, everybody's down
On the riverbed, all names were set in steel
Lookin in from the outside everybody's doooooooooown
(Reverb/back-play in the background)...
Chorus:
210 miles an hour, watching the lightening delay
That was then now I keep your picture just to remind me
Who knew you'd have things so heavy, there's barely a bright side to see
I say I'll come to the rescue with perfect timing
