Lyrics:	Accelerate ©2009 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) Used to call your name Out in front-a your house After after- school snack We'd just sort of hang out PLAN - Now I pencil you in DAMN - Life's all scheduling CRAM - in as much as I can PLAY - is what we - crave Monster cereal's our choice It's those prizes that can woo us Memorize the grossest jokes To impress 'em on the school bus When did the days play this dirty trick and make Us Accelerate .... Accelerate Slam on the brakes Slam on the brakes Are we climbing giant pyramids of birthday cakes With a flick and sideways fling We'd skip skim stones for ages Counter balancing the time We spent in school-shaped cages PLAN ... The big deal of the day - Hey is when's that ice cream truck due Major trauma to decide Which tasty treat should you choose When did the days ... While workin' on this song I came upon something my father wrote In 1941 - as a photo album preface quote He too was contemplating dissipating days Desperate for ways to Slam on the brakes Slam on the brakes

About the Song	Facing aging issues - staring down the rapid passage of time and fast-shrinking days ... from the innocence of childhood to the frantic pace of aging ... The song's message is reminiscent of "The Circle Game (Joni Mitchell) but with a humorous approach and an insistent driving guitar. Bemoans the necessity of scheduling every adult moment as opposed to the 'pure play' mindset of kids.
