Reluctantly crouched at the starting lineEngines pumping and thumping in timeThe green light flashes, the flags go upChurning and burning, they yearn for the cupThey deftly maneuver and muscle for rankFuel burning fast on an empty tankReckless and wild, they pour through the turnsTheir prowess is potent and secretly sternAs they speed through the finish, the flags go downThe fans get up and they get out of townThe arena is empty except for one manStill driving and striving as fast as he canThe sun has gone down and the moon has come upAnd long ago somebody left with the cupBut he's driving and striving and hugging the turnsAnd thinking of someone for whom he still burnsHe's going the distanceHe's going for speedShe's all aloneIn her time of needLetras de cancionesBecause he's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseHe's going the distanceNo trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wineHe's haunted by something he cannot defineBowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorseAssail him, impale him with monster-truck forceIn his mind, he's still driving, still making the gradeShe's hoping in time that her memories will fadeCause he's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseThe sun has gone down and the moon has come upAnd long ago somebody left with the cupBut he's striving and driving and hugging the turnsAnd thinking of someone for whom he still burns'Cause he's going the distanceHe's going for speedShe's all aloneIn her time of needBecause he's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseHe's racing and pacing and plotting the courseHe's fighting and biting and riding on his horseHe's going the distanceHe's going for speedHe's going the distance
