Pylons hold up the sky until the stars come out
Like the lights around your Christmas tree
But I can taste the fear warm in your mouth

Wires humming in the wind
Along the road that stretches into the distance
Miles blur into a shimmering haze
Nothing seems to make any difference today

The car won't start [5x]
Maybe if we push it hard
Time is running out for you [3x]
Time is running out for me too

Try the engine once more
Turn the keys and kick the wheels
Sit and sweat it out on hot plastic seats
I think we're watching the last reel

Time is running out for you [3x]
Time is running out for me too
Time is running out for you [3x]
Time is running out for me too
