Unsafe At Any Speed Lyrics - Nina Gordon

Everybody wants to want it 

And everybody tries 

But take a look at all their riches 

My pile is twice the size 

So forget the little people waiting in the wings 

Cause now is everything 

The only survivor is the driver 

Look out look out now 

The passenger's dead they can't revive her 

Look out look out now 

Gotta stop pretending that you know better 

Cause I know what I need 

I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed 

Once upon a time I wondered 

How to leave the ground 

I learned you never make it anywhere 

If you pussyfoot around 

You gotta spit out the sour grapes 

You're dying on the vine 

And running out of time 

The only survivor is the driver 

Look out look out now 

The passenger's dead they can't revive her 

Look out look out now 

You gotta stop pretending that you know better 

Cause I know what I need 

I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed 

I could give it up 

and try to play it down for a while 

I'd rather live it up 

I'm warning you now 

I'm cruising out of town 

The only survivor is the driver 

Look out look out now 

The passenger's dead they can't revive her 

Look out look out now 

You gotta stop pretending that you know better 

Cause I know what I need 

I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed
