09 Ninety Miles an Hour

I took you home form a party and we kissed in fun
A few stolen kisses and no harm was done
Instead of stopping when we could we went right on
Till suddenly we found that the brakes were gone

You belong to someone else and I do too
It’s just crazy being here with you
There’s a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street

I didn’t want to love you but I had no choice
It’s too late to listen to that warning voice
All I hear is thunder where two hearts beat
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street

You’re not free to belong to me
You know I could never be your own
You’re lips on mine like sweet sweet wine
But we’re headed for a wall of stone

Warning signs are flashin everywhere but we pay no heed
Instead of slowin down the pace we keep pickin up speed
Disaster’s getting closer every time we meet
Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
