I completely forgot about this thread...
Cake - The Distance
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes
The flags go up
Churning
And burning
The yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver
And muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless
And wild
They pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent
And secretly stern
As they speed through the finish
The flags go down
The fans get up
And they get out of town
The arena is empty
Except for one man
Still driving
And striving
As fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving
And striving
And hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom
He
Still
Burns
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone!) all alone in a time of need
Because he's racing
And pacing
And plotting the course
He's fighting
And biting
And riding on his horse
He's going the distance
No trophy
No flowers
No flashbulbs
No line
He's haunted by something he can not define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes
Of doubt and remorse
Assail him
Impale him
With monster-truck force
In his mind, he's still driving
Still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
Cause he's racing
And pacing
And plotting the course
He's fighting
And biting
And riding on his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving
And striving
And hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom
He
Still
Burns
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone!) all alone in a time of need
Because he's racing
And pacing
And plotting the course
He's fighting
And biting
And riding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's going the distance
