This is where we start out,
this is where we come alive
Fire breathing rock machine
and you got no place to hide
leaving unbelievers in a wake
Two thousand pounds of steel
and the dust which stands
I just slammed down the throttle
to leave the world far behind
I just slammed down the throttle
to ease the pain in my mind
We've all got crosses to bear
from lines more than X to X
I just slammed down the throttle
can't you see that I can't sit still
And I'm coming back before
Leaving me so short on my breath
I've been chasing so long
You're just trying to do outrun death
I just slipped out the throttle
To leave the world far behind
I just slipped out the throttle
To ease the pain in my mind
We both know the cost is severe
But far more of an extra grand
I just slipped out the throttle
Flying, got the road nowhere bound
The smoke pulls out the windows
like the devils come up aground
I'm jamming into fifth gear
and the stars go shaking past my eyes
The only thing I'm sure of
is that I might not make it back to life
I just slipped out the throttle
to leave the world far behind
I just slipped out the throttle
to ease the pain in my mind
We've all got crosses to bear,
but mine's more of an axe to grind
I just slipped out the throttle
This is where we start our nap,
this is where we come alive
Standing here just losing
when I kick it into overdrive
I ain't even got a second
I just swam down the throttle
to leave the world far behind
I just swam down the throttle
to ease the pain in my mind
We bowed our crosses in fear,
but my mortal pain has to pray
I can't grab at the throttle,
