I thought you knew me by now
Let the lights go on roaring
Someone's hand on my shoulder - then
We passed a turning point
There was time for the taking
Chorus:
Maximum acceleration
Maximum acceleration
Maximum acceleration

A face echoes slowly
A signal close by me
The landscapes are changing - and -
Some of us flipped a coin
And shimmered away

(Chorus)

You really were aching
It's turning to twilight
Over and under - then -
A couple of figures shook their heads on the sidelines

(Chorus)
