He knows the color of night
The city lights like his crowd of people
Cheering him on through the fight
Twisted metal threading through the needle
Foot on the gas blurs the lines
The engine whispers through the burning diesel
"Go ahead and take a right"
He hugs the bend into certain evil
In the shadows afar
Red and blue slowly getting nearer
Swerving around on the tar
Tired eyes couldn't see much clearer
He makes a run for his life
Risk it all for adrenaline fever
Never even cared for the price
Killing time is a pain reliever
The strobing lights disappear
He twists the key both eyes on the mirror
Red as the color of fear
The engine rests as the dawn draws nearer
