[00:00.455] |
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line |
[00:03.508] |
Engines pumping and thumping in time |
[00:06.105] |
The green light flashes, the flags go up |
[00:08.882] |
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup |
[00:11.363] |
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank |
[00:14.134] |
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank |
[00:16.756] |
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns |
[00:19.419] |
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern |
[00:22.041] |
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down |
[00:24.553] |
The fans get up and they get out of town |
[00:27.295] |
The arena is empty except for one man |
[00:29.861] |
Still driving and striving as fast as he can |
[00:32.468] |
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up |
[00:35.292] |
And long ago somebody left with the cup |
[00:37.694] |
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns |
[00:40.383] |
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns |
[00:45.107] |
He's going the distance, he's going for speed |
[00:50.104] |
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need |
[00:55.408] |
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course |
[00:58.712] |
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse |
[01:01.983] |
He's going the distance |
[01:17.358] |
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine |
[01:19.643] |
He's haunted by something he cannot define |
[01:22.509] |
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse |
[01:25.122] |
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force |
[01:27.706] |
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade |
[01:30.201] |
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade |
[01:32.820] |
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course |
[01:35.604] |
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse |
[01:38.249] |
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up |
[01:40.899] |
And long ago somebody left with the cup |
[01:43.360] |
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns |
[01:46.003] |
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns |
[01:50.628] |
'Cause he's going the distance, he's going for speed |
[01:55.811] |
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need |
[02:01.410] |
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course |
[02:04.471] |
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse |
[02:07.107] |
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course |
[02:09.793] |
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse |
[02:13.058] |
He's going the distance, he's going for speed |
[02:18.253] |
He's going the distance |
