The People That We Love (Speed Kills) Lyrics
Speed kills coming down the mountain
Speed kills coming down the street
Speed kills with presence of mind and
Speed kills if you know what I mean
Got to feel - woke up inside again
Got to feel less broke more fixed
Got to feel when I got outside myself
Got to feel when I touched your lips
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something we can't take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
How's it feel she's coming up roses
How's it feel she's coming up sweet
How's it feel when it's all in spite of you
How's it feel when she's out of your reach
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something in the way
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time - I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
What happened to you
Speed kills coming down the street
Speed kills with presence of mind and
Speed kills if you know what I mean
Got to feel less broke more fixed
Got to feel when I got outside myself
Got to feel when I touched your lips
The way we break if there's something we can't take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
How's it feel she's coming up sweet
How's it feel when it's all in spite of you
How's it feel when she's out of your reach
The way we break if there's something in the way
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time - I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee

This song has very coincidental lyrics if what I heard is true. I heard that the name changed from 'speed kills' to 'the people that we love' on September 11. Read the lyrics and see! I love this song!
I love this song! The album is very good...but I don't know if it beats Sixteen Stone...that was like, the best album made, ever! What CD can beat one with "Comedown", "Machine Head", "Everything Zen", and "Glycerine" on it?! Good stuff...but, yea, this song and video rock! :)
The orignal title of this song was Speed kills.
this song definatley kicks ass...:) -Paul
i like this song. I think it was a good choice for the first single, althogh the album hasn't done very well.
i also think that this is a very awesome song. May i recommned that you put this song on right after you wake up, while you are still in bed, and then get up and jam around in your underwear, like they do in movies. Its awesome, trust me
I always thought this song was about cocaine.
Actually I still think this song is about cocaine.
well, i think the songs about speed, it was called speed kills. why they changed it after sept. 11th, because its about drugs, idk, they very well could have stuck to their guns and said its just about drugs, and 9/11 wasnt a mass drug overdose day. but idk there was crazy hysteria around the music industry after then.
it's about being addicted to meth

what i understand from that is how easily feelings can go...or how easy people break up...and we still care for that person and wish her wellbeing...but we can no longer be with them.... i don't see how the rest fits in with that....or how being addicted to meth connects to that....i donno...can anyone explain?
