Dreams are forever
Faster
Faster, faster
Faster, faster
You
Since that magic day
We've been like magnets in a play
We smash in then pull away
Every day (every day)
You, you
You're a jet, a flying gun
You kill me softly with your sun
You melt, you melt my wings and call it fun
I should run (ohh)
Faster and faster I should run (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster from your arms (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster I should run (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster from your arms (faster, faster) (ohh)
I
Watch my powers die
Falling out of starry skies
(Out of starry skies)
You kryptonite my life
Every night (faster, faster)
Oh, the, the-the-the-the-the-the-the
Ending of the road
Dashing prince or horny toad?
Who really ever knows?
I-i should know (ohh)
Faster and faster I should run (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster from your arms (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster I should run (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster from your arms (faster, faster) (ohh)
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm running) I'm running
I'm running, running, running
(Shaking like a schizo')
I'm shaking like, shaking like a schizo'
('Lectric sheep)
'Lectric sheep, mh, all over my feet
(Are dancing in the window)
They dancing, dancing, dancing in the window
(My heart beats)
My heart beats, it beats for you and only you
(It's kicking like a kick drum)
And it's kicking like a kick drum (drum, drum)
(Am I a freak?) Am I a freak? Uh, am I a freak?
(Or just another weirdo)
Or just another little weirdo, yeah
(Call me weak) call me weak
Or better yet, you can call me
(Or just call me your hero)
You can call me your hero, baby
You can't zap down all my good times
I know right from wrong (I know right from wrong)
Kissing loving's feeling good
And not this feeling down (not this feeling down)
You hide your chainsaw deep in kisses
That don't make it quiet (whoa, whoa, whoa)
You got me running, muttering, screaming
Each and every night
Faster and faster I should run
Faster and faster from your arms
Faster and faster I should run
Faster and faster from your arms
Faster and faster I should run
Faster and faster from your arms
Faster
Faster, faster
Faster, faster
You
Since that magic day
We've been like magnets in a play
We smash in then pull away
Every day (every day)
You, you
You're a jet, a flying gun
You kill me softly with your sun

I should run (ohh)
Faster and faster I should run (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster from your arms (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster I should run (faster, faster) (ohh)
Faster and faster from your arms (faster, faster) (ohh)

As the album this song comes from is a CONCEPT album, I believe it's about Cindi Mayweather (the android/robot) and her human lover, Anthony Greendown. She loves him very much but she cannot love him, because it is forbidden in Metropolis for robot/human relations to occur. So she needs to run away from him, and I think that's what the song is describing. How connected she feels with Anthony, how he's her drug, her Kryptonite, her escape, and yet she needs to escape FROM him because society does not approve of their relationship. In the back of her head there is always that thought, will they find me and disassemble me, is this guy really good for me?
I dunno, they're just my thoughts, connecting it with the theme :)
