Song progression:
[Intro] x5
[Riff 1] x4
[Riff 2] x1
[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:
My uncle has a country place,
that no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm
before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays, I elude the "Eyes"
and hop the turbine freight -
to far outside the wire
where my white-haired uncle waits.
[Riff 3] x2
[Riff 4] x1
[Riff 4] x2 w/ lyrics:
Jump to the ground as the turbo slows to cross the borderline.
Run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine.
[Riff 5] x2 w/ lyrics:
Down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine - for 50 odd
years. To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.
[Intro] x1
[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:
I strip away the old debris
that hides the shining car.
a brilliant red Barchetta from a
better vanished time.
Fire up the willing engine,
responding with a roar!
Tires spitting gravel I commit
my weekly crime.

(Bend this note into infinity, mix with heavy flange)
[Riff 6] x2
[Riff 6] x3 /w lyrics:
Wind in my hair, shifting and drifting.
-- mechanical music,
[Riff 7] x1 /w lyrics:
-- adrenalin surge.....
[Riff 7] x1 w/ lyrics:
Well weathered leather, hot metal and oil, the scented country air.
[Riff 8] x1 w/ lyrics:
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape, every nerve aware!

[Riff 4] x1 (repeat first part 3 times)
[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:
Suddenly ahead of me,
across the mountain side,
a gleaming alloy air car shoots towards
me two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires
to run the deadly race;
go screaming through the valley as
another joins the chase.
[Riff 3] x2
[Riff 4] x1
[Riff 4] x2 w/ lyrics:
Drive like the wind, straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud with fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.
[Riff 5] x2 w/ lyrics:
At the one lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the fireside.
[Riff 5] x1
