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
