Overdrive Lyrics

By: Boz Scaggs 
Well, the room is a cyclone 
And you are in the eye 
There ain't no movement 
Things that could die 
But the reelin' and the spinnin' 
Of the rock and roll sides 
Will all be gone before midnight 
And die before sunrise 

You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 
If you know what it is 
And you wanna stay alive 
You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 

Yes, the corner's full of monkeys 
And your ear drum's full of lies 
Time is out the window 
And there's echoes in your sides 
They've been burnin' down your walls 
Ever since the peep of dawn 
And now the dealer's in the fireplace 
Tryin' to turn it on 

You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 
If you know that it's time 
And you oughtta take a dive 
You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 

Go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 
You know what it is 
And you wanna stay alive 
You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 

Now the light road's gettin' restless 
Cause he knows your overdue 
But it's just another train ride 
Bein' all the same to you 
And the last shot's at your finger tips 
Like that flicker in the grass 
And the last cord hits the ashes 
And you know you gotta pass 

You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive 
If you know that it's time 
And you oughtta take a dive 
You better go to overdrive 
Go to overdrive
