On the fly in overdrive
Got to get there quick
No time to slow down
Chew the fat, you can't do that
Nothing seems to fit
No time to slow down

Bottom of the stack
Can't go any faster
Do it after that and before you know
Your time is up

Autoyear, tomorrow's here
Blink and then it's gone
No time to slow down
In and out tossed about
Reckless in the zone
No time to slow down

Burning at both ends
And it's getting hotter
Take it on the chin and before you know
Your time is up

Not in the mind
Not in the heart
Nothing human plays a part
Mental machines
Heading for a main malfunction

Addicted to the call of a deadline meter
You scramble all your life and before you know
Your time is up
Where did it go
You've got to know
