Speedrun - Team StarKid

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!
