Cake - Going The Distance

Going The Distance

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags goes up,
Churning and burning, they yern for the cup.
They deftly manouver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank,
Wreckless and wild they pour thru the turns,
Their prowless is podent and secretly stern.
As they speed thru the finish the flags go down.
The fans get up, and get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Sti will 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 hes driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he sti will burns.
Hes going the distance.
Hes going for speed.
Shes all alone, all alone in her time of need.
Because hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
Hes going the distance.
Yeah
No trophy, no flowers, no flash bulbs, no wine.
Hes haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale himwith monster truck force.
In his mind hes sti will driving, sti will making the grade.
Shes hoping time that her memories wi will fade,
Cause hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes 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 hes striving and driving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he sti will burns.
Cause hes going the distance.
Hes going for speed.
Shes all alone, all alone in her time of need.
Because hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes figting and biting and riding on his horse,
Hes racing and pacing and plotting the course,
Hes figting and biting and riding on his horse
Hes going the distance.
Hes going for speed.
Hes going the distance...
