Lyrics for Song: Speeding Time 
Lyrics for Album: Speeding Time [1983]
  
               
  5062>Decades pass in just one year
  And your illusions disappear
  And you fear the speeding time
 
 
  You find a dream that you embrace
  Look the other way and it's a race
  Trying to keep pace with the speeding time
 
 
  Don't see no more dancin' on the street
  And its not easy to laugh at your defeat
 
 
  But hang in - hold on
  There will be relief
  Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive
  In this speeding time
 
 
  Get your feet on solid ground
  It's a nightmare you have found
  The howling sound of speeding time
  Y'hear the cries behind stone walls
  Decipher echoes down the halls
  But don't you fall in the speeding time
 
 
  Drifting back is no way to begin
  Y'gotta try to find the strength within
 
 
  And hang in - hold on
  There will be relief
  Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive
  In this speeding time
 
 
  You never listened when the prophets said
  Prepare yourself for times that lie ahead
  Now that you know they didn't speak a lie
  There's nothing for you to do except to try
 
 
  And hang in - hold on
  Oh, hang in - hold on
  There will be relief
  Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive
  In this speeding time
