Ola Podrida
Speed of Light
(Verse)
I see a dog stretch out in the morning lights
Dreaming along in a place
Made it straight caught creeps on a nothing’s line
Wakes him up with a swap to the face
I found that the clouds always come at the worst of times
And I left all the windows down
It’s always so many years since for turban time
And I think we just ran out

(Chorus)
Everything is moving at the speed of light
Can’t you see, can’t you see?
Everyone is trammed up at the finish line
Can’t you see, can’t you see?

(Verse)
From this height you can see all the tiny squares
Like a cage full of fireflies
The streets are empty but they’re alive within air
It stings my eyes

(Chorus)
Everything is moving at the speed of light
Can’t you see, can’t you see?
Everyone is trammed up at the finish line
Can’t you see, can’t you see?

(Bridge)
All my senses shopping in the fading light
This room gets small, but then starts to expend
All these empty pieces start to make more sense
When the lights go out I understand
