The Distance Lyrics

The Distance lyrics

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines are pumping and thumping in
time
The green light flashes, the flags goes up
Churning and burning, they
yearn for the cup

They deftly manoeuvre, 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 in her 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 cannot
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 striving and driving
and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still
burns

Cause, he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's
all alone, all alone in her 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
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
