ADRENALINE
Emma Pollock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep it coming around
It keeps the days alive, it makes the hours fly
Keep it coming around
When the holdups start holding you down
Keep your eyes to the ground
And when the holdups start holding us down
Just keep your eyes to the ground
For I, cannot, disgrace, myself
When the motion steers for the very first time
Don't give the game away
When it raises its head, and it threatens to stay
Don't give the game away
And my time is tabled and my clock is on time
I can keep it alive
And my day is set and I haven't stopped yet
I can carry on fine
For I, will have, to do it, myself
Set up the day, Give it away
And everything I've been thinking of
With no time to think, There's no time to sink
I'm looking out for an ambush
From beginning to end, Attention to bend
There can be no interruption
Set up the day, Give it away
And stop this motion from slowing
This adrenaline rush is keeping me high
Keep it coming around
It keeps the days alive, it makes the hours fly
Keep it coming around
And my time is tabled and my clock is on time
I can keep it alive
And my day is set and I haven't stopped yet
I can carry on fine
For I, will have, to do it, myself
Set up the day, Give it away
And everything I've been thinking of
With no time to think, There's no time to sink
I'm looking out for an ambush
From beginning to end, Attention to bend
There can be no interruption
Set up the day, Give it away
Don't stop this motion from slowing
Set up the day, Give it away
And everything I've been thinking of
With no time to think, There's no time to sink
I'm looking out for an ambush
From beginning to end, Attention to bend
There can be no interruption
Set up the day, Give it away
Don't stop this motion from slowing

Que bos grupos hai en Escocia desde fai tempo! Que mágoa que non haxa tanta variedade e calidade en Galicia e en España.
