Les Paroles :

Speed Demon
Par : Michael Jackson

I’m headed for the border
It’s on my mind
And nothin’ really matters
I’ve got to be on time
Look in the view mirror
Is he hot on my tracks
Is he getting nearer
I feel some heat is on
my back

(Speed demon)
Speedin’ on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Doin’ it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I’m stoppin’ at nothin’
(Speed demon)
(He say) Pull over boy and
get your ticket right . . .

And nothin’ gonna stop me
Ain’t no stop and go
I’m speedin’ on the midway
I gotta really burn this road

(Speed demon)
Speedin’ on the freeway
Gotta get the leadway
(Speed demon)
Doin’ it on the highway
Gotta have it my way
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I’m stoppin’ at nothin’
(Speed demon)
(He say) Pull over boy and
get your ticket right . . .

Speed demon, you’re the
very same one
Who said the future’s in
your hands
The life you save could be
your own
You’re preachin’ ’bout my
life like you’re the law
Gonna live each day and
hour like
For me there’s no tomorrow

Go! Go! Go! Aaow!

(Speed demon)
Speedin’ on the freeway
Gotta get a leadway
(Speed demon)
Got fire in my pocket
I just lit a rocket
(Speed demon)
Mind is like a compass
I’m stoppin’ at nothin’
(Speed demon)
(He say) Pull over boy and
get your ticket right
(Speed demon)
(He say) Just, pull over boy
and eat your ticket
(He say) Pull over boy
(He say) Pull over boy
And get your ticket right
Ugh!
Aaow!
Uhh!
Hoo!
Get your ticket right
(He say) Pull over boy-get
your ticket right
(He say) Pull over boy and
get your ticket right
(He say) Pull over boy
(He say) Pull over boy and
get your ticket
Eat your ticket
Get your ticket
Eat yo’, get yo’, Hoo! Aaow!
Get your ticket right
