speed demons and speed spirits
to the left to the right
why am I always the one I don’t want to be

both shine
but only one is soft

even though she's lost it all
even though she's been kicked
she's intrigued by all that’s before her
because everything she touches is soft

I've got my machines
and all my little toys
and I glide around
with all these other machine men

the soft wool with the red X's
spray paint
by me and mine

I want to melt through this metal and felt
and be spray painted red
