lyrics

Face down I went
for something soft and smooth
Ride the dragon, slay the beast
Find the fountain of youth
A woman sat beside me
Must have been here for a while
Whispered "this thing here is not working"
And just like that, she killed the vibe

I've been drinking from this fountain
It's just something that I do
But the sign up on that gate
The promise is not true
But this is where I spend my money
That's how I trick my mind
As I'm sliding
Down the highway of time

Oh go easy, go easy
I feel I'm sliding down
No one wants to grow old
No one wants to die young
But there is a woman's truth
How you want me for my youth
I'm a woman on the run
Out of Time

I used to think I was above it
So high that I could soar
But I just blink and now I'm of it
Have you played this game before?
The hungry crowd is cheering
Rolling heads, falling crowns
They reminisce your youth and beauty
then point at the lines

Oh the loser game
Sponsored by same old gaze
I'm on a wheel, seducing hungry fools
I check myself, I trace
I cross the line
Now the lines are crossing me
I'm a woman on the run
for something she can't be!

Lines, lines across my face
I scrutinize, I trace
Line, line, I cross the line
A woman on the run
I slay the beast, my face won't move
I gave myself that gift of youth
And I can't smile it, but I'm so stoked
I'm still valid, still a part of it

Oh go easy, go easy
I feel I'm sliding down
No one wants to grow old
No one wants to die young
But there is a woman's truth
How you want me for my youth
I'm a woman on the run
Out of Time
