Lyrics Patti Smith

Patti Smith

Godspeed

You are the adrenaline rushing through my veins

Stimulate my heart, heavy crystalline

You are the sulphur extinguished by the flame

You are everything to me, all this in your name

Oh, walking in your blue coat, weeping admiral

All the twisted cellars they had to hand your name

Ended all that's static in a myth of sin

Mirror minor static pale adrenaline

Take it

Ah, take it that day you said to me

"It could never be", say the hour of sea to seep

Have you said Godspeed?

Love is a vampire, energy of dead

Love is like a boomerang, comin' back again

On a rack of red leather, on a rack of skin and sin

Tell me how to pale in adrenaline

And you said to me, "It could never be"

Say the hour of sea to seep

And you said to me

Have you said Godspeed?

I could make it all

All the twisted sand and foam

I'll never, ever return

I could make it, make it all

I'm walking, follow me down the twisted stair

Stuck inside a memory shot and shot again

Hand upon a railin', courtin' fate and fate

We're sailin', sailin', sailin' sailin'

Down a black, black river and I plunge right in

And I plunge right in, in adrenaline, in adrenaline

I move inside my vein

Ah, you're the speed I need

Throw the pistol in

Oh, your love's a vampire

Comin' in to suck

Stop, stop, stop, stop

Oh, I fell and fell and fell

Down, down, down, down

Oh, I'm gonna duck
