Can't Slow Down

I'm driving hard, punching holes in the heat
 The air is clammy, a hamper full of nightmare's sheets.
 I'm goin' fast like a fading blonde
 No time for nothing but goin, goin', goin' - gone.
 Tire treads are smooth and hot
 Goin' 'round.
 Sirens wailing long and loud
 But what's a man to do
 If he can't slow down.
 Just can't seem to slow down
 My brakes are failing, blasting through all the lights
 My radiator's been blown since I was five.
 The night is clinging and the sidewalks reel
 My body's rusted, I'm rotten, screaming steel.
 Like a warrior who fights without shield
 I'll go down.
 You'll see me smashed to bits in this town
 Long before I'm due
 'Cause I can't slow down.
 I just can't seem to slow down
 I can't slow down
 I just can't seem to slow down
 I'm knockin', knockin' underneath my hood. (knock, knock)
 Don't you inspect me, you know I just ain't no good.
 Tire treads are smooth and hot
 Goin' 'round.
 You'll see me smashed to bits in this town
 Long before I'm due
 'Cause I can't slow down.
 I just can't seem to slow down
 I can't slow down
 I just can't seem to slow down
