Lyrics
Here they roll down
Like a miracle that's over
Here they slow down
Like a miracle that's over
Tell them for me, as you see them speeding by,
That their lights don't light the way
Tell them for me, if you can catch their eye,
That I'd never stand in their way
Here they roll down
Like a miracle that's over
Here they slow down
Like a miracle that's over
You can't find as you're speeding by
Anywhere you want to stop
You can't find as you're speeding by
Anyone to raise you up
Here they roll down
Like a miracle that's over
Hey you slow down
Like the miracle was over
If your broken face can find a lover
Give away your chance to fly
Give away your will power
Hey look at me I'm free
You can hear them fall out
You can see them toss it up
You can be caught in their lights as they flash by
You can go with them without knowing why
