Maximum Acceleration

I thought you knew me by now 
Let the lights go on roaring 
Someone's hand on my shoulder - then 
We passed a turning point 
There was time for the taking 
Chorus:
Maximum acceleration 
Maximum acceleration
Maximum acceleration

A face echoes slowly 
A signal close by me 
The landscapes are changing - and - 
Some of us flipped a coin 
And shimmered away

(Chorus)

You really were aching 
It's turning to twilight 
Over and under - then - 
A couple of figures shook their heads on the sidelines

(Chorus)
