Lyrics Speedrun - Team StarKid

Speedrun

Father:
She went off like a bolt of lightning
Mad as hell and the pace was frightening
Every stop on the trail was left for dead
The legend around her spread
Like a weed in a flower bed
Her mission was clear and straight ahead
She tempted fate to the limit
Pushing all of us hard through the night
If the weather so much as shifted
She scared it off with a knife
Father: (Mother, Son, Grandpa)
She went on a run, speedrun
(Run, speedrun)
To save the future
The woman I love had fire in her eyes
She went on a run, speedrun
(Run, speedrun)
To save her daughter now
The woman I love’s come back to life
All:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mother: (Father, Son, Grandpa)
(Speedrun!)
Nothing that needs exploring
(Speedrun!)
That part of the game is boring
Hold onto your butts and let me drive
(Speedrun!)
Time to reduce our rations
(Speedrun!)
Rational is out of fashion
The queen bee is back to claim her hive
I know all of the shortcuts
Using my motherly sense
If idle minds are the devil
Then speed’s our only defense
(Dialogue)
All:
Ah… run, speedrun
To the future
Fanning the flames of the demon inside
It’s time to run, speedrun
To save our daughter now
Cause the slower you play the faster you die
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Nothing can stop us now
Oh, nothing can take us down
Who needs to stop and piss
When you’re in the lead?
Can’t stop us now
Oh, nothing can break us down
Who knew that all this time
We had what we need?
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster… oh…
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster… oh…
Father: (Mother, Son, Grandpa)
Oh, they call it a speedrun!
(Speedrun!)
Oh, they call it a speedrun
It’s the story of one motherfucking family!
All:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
