"Daddy's Speeding" lyrics - SUEDE

Whiplash caught the silver son
Took the film to number one
Crashed the car and left us here
Broken glass for teenage boys
Trapped in steel and celluloid
They crash the cars and leave us here

And daddy burned a million eyes
Dared the dogs to criticize
He crashed the car and I was born
And daddy turned a million heads
Took the teenage dream to bed
He crashed the car and left us here

[Chorus:]
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny, high in the sky
Oh, can you see him?
Oh, daddy's speeding

Whiplash caught the silver son
Killed the sad American
Crashed the car and left us here
And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
Come with me, now, it's your time
Let's crash the car and I'll be born
And sorrow breaks the silent day
Takes the teenage boys away
They crash the cars and leave us here

[Chorus:]
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields and death machines, high in the sky
Oh, can you see him?
Oh, daddy's speeding
