Have to keep within the speed limit
but it's as though that I am being chased
those front lights always flicker
through my rear window..blinding
...down loney, desolate highways
with no cops to ask me to pull over
I would love to get a ticket then
who knows what kind of people follow anyway
Just gets your blood so hot,
whenever there is a chase like this
I'd do anything just to stop..seem weird?
have to stay ahead and alert
yet everything around me is a blurr
what's this..the engine's overheated now..
lucky me..I'll move over
have to keep within speed limits
it's as though I'm being chased
the speedometer reading's gotta fall
cell phone on the blink..how can I call?

If I had some bright blinker lights and a fast car, I'd chase you down the highway, you betcha!
And then we could discuss the state of affairs of this planet, and maybe come up with something close to poetic justice for all the evildoers in the world.
Alas, I am without any wheels at the moment!

nice one, I sure can relate...'cept I'm usually the one doing the chasing for being chased I suppose (stuck in the middle with you)

This type of scenario is what nightmares are made of!---Where are the cops when you need them!?!

Sent a chill up my spine! ---Been there!

This one was inspired by a film on road rage
with a twist at the end of it..has a swell ending
