Seven Miles an Hour

Well I've got a new job in a gray office tower
And I'm stuck here for around another hour
Wearing a dark frown
Watching the second hand go 'round

When I can, I'll leave without hesitation
And make my way on to a better destination
Racing the daylight
Back to where I was last night

Going seven miles an hour, can't slow down
Seven miles an hour, burnin' the ground
'Cause I've got a good thing waiting way across town
Seven miles an hour, can't slow down

The sidewalk's jammed up
Now I wanna move in a hurry
Have I found an angel? Well, I think she might be
If there ever was one, can't just walk, I've got to run

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
Seven miles an hour, burnin' the ground
Well I gotta good thing waiting way across town
Seven miles an hour can't slow down

Racing the daylight
Back to where I was last night

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
Seven miles an hour, burnin' the ground
'Cause I got a good thing waiting way across town
Seven miles an hour, can't slow down

Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
Seven miles an hour
Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
Seven miles an hour, can't slow down
