Speed Is The Key Lyrics

straight into the air,
at lightning speed,
fasten your seatbelts,
the future is mine.

I'm a future woman
in an irresistable world
fast and sparkling
speed is the key

lizards at lightning speed
surprise me all the time
does no one respect space rules?

a big fresh meat slice
a streamlined solid steal knife in it
I must energize
Speed is the key

lizards playing around
and I'm one of them
so I said: lizards
of the world, unite!

I'm a spacegirl
pass me that aeroplane
I've got to go now
speed is the key

I'm a space woman
shaped like a, a bullet
no barriers
Whoosh!
there goes another second
doubt kills
speed is the key

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
