All Good Things - The Distance

Текст песни

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line\nEngines pumping and thumping in time\nThe green light flashes, the flags go up\nChurning and burning, they yearn for the cup\nThey deftly maneuver and muscle for rank\nFuel burning fast on an empty tank\nReckless and wild, they pour through the turns\nTheir prowess is potent and secretly stern\nAs they speed through the finish, the flags go down\nThe fans get up and they get out of town\nThe arena is empty except for one man\nDriving and striving as fast as he can\nThe sun has gone down and the moon has come up\nAnd long ago somebody left with the cup\nBut he’s driving and striving and hugging the turns\nAnd thinking of someone for whom he still burns\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going for speed\nShe’s all alone (All alone)\nAll alone in her time of need (He's going the distance)\nBecause he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course\nHe’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse\nHe’s going the distance (He's going the distance)\nNo trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine\nHe’s haunted by something he cannot define\nBowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse\nAssail him, impale him with monster-truck force\nIn his mind, he’s still driving, making the grade\nShe’s hoping in time that her memories will fade\n'Cause he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course\nHe’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse\nThe sun has gone down and the moon has come up\nAnd long ago somebody left with the cup\nBut he’s striving and driving and hugging the turns\nAnd thinking of someone for whom he still burns\n'Cause he’s going the distance\nHe’s going for speed\nShe’s all alone (All alone)\nAll alone in her time of need (He's going the distance)\nBecause he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course\nHe’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse\nHe’s racing and pacing and plotting the course\nHe’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse\nHe’s going the distance (He's going the distance)\nHe’s going for speed (He's going for speed)\nHe’s going the distance (He's going the distance)\nHe’s racing and pacing and plotting the course\nHe’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going for speed\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going the\nHe’s going the distance\nHe’s going for speed\nHe’s going the distance
