Landspeed Song
written by Tanya Donelly

.

i've sunk a lot into this venture
i expect returns
i've suffered all the slings and arrows
i know where it hurts

i'm unstable
you seem able
organize me
start with anything you want

wide awake and sleepwalking in
don't you want me?
don't you

we could break the landspeed record
don't you want to?
don't you

i've planted all these firecrackers around me like a shield
you penetrate, you immolate
do you understand the deal?

i'm a living doll disaster
renovate me
start with anything you want

wide awake and sleepwalking in
don't you want me?
don't you

we could break the landspeed record
don't you want to?
don't you

don't know why he won't come home
don't know why he won't come home

don't know why he won't come home
don't know why he won't come home

don't know why he won't come home
don't know why he won't come home...

don't you want to live forever?
i could hook you up

we could break the landspeed record

don't you want to?
don't you?

don't you baby
don't you baby
want to shine and burn?
don't you want to be remembered?

i do, i do
i do
