Pacemaker (Original Extended Version)

from Pacemaker by Billie Ray Martin

lyrics

the pace of life is disappointing
so tie me up cause it takes too long
the pace of life is disappointing
so hit me hard cause i ain't that strong

and you better relieve me of my senses
cause they'd waste away in the time it takes to find out what's wrong

gotta pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day
oh, for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah, hey
c'mon, pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day, ouh
for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah, oh yeah-hee-ee, hee-hee!

deliver me from your deadly silence
that breeds inside when you hold my tongue (breeding)
I'd shout out my gentleness and violence (ooh-hoo)
if i only knew how this thing is done

for in the sunrise the bird eats fire
and the flames are five times around the world before the morning's done

gotta pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day
oh, for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah, hey
c'mon, pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day, ouh
for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah, oh yeah-hee-ee, hee-hee!

for a little high speed moment
we'll let her feet run away feet run away feet run away
when we zoom in on the freeze frame
she['ll] break right down
down (down)
hey hey

c'mon, get up
c'mon
c'mon, get up
c'mon, get up

gotta pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day
oh, for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah, hey
c'mon, pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day, ouh
for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah

pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day
oh, for just another motherless heart beat, you better, better, better!
(pick up the pace) twenty-four hours a day, ouh
(for just another motherless heart beat) hey!

pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day, huh!
(for just another motherless heart beat) don't you know, c'mon!
(pick up the pace) twenty-four hours a day
(for just another motherless) heart beat, mm yeah

pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day (oooh!)
(for just another motherless heart beat, ooh) yeah!
pick up the pace twenty-four hours a day
for just another motherless heart beat, oh yeah, oh yeah-hee-ee, hee-hee!
