Strings on the Come-Up

(grrrr,

bow)

Tell 'em hold tight,

yeah I'm on my way

Tell 'em clear the lane,

I'm on my way Cold wind blowing through the alleyway Engine humming,

I don't hesitate (no way) Keep the pace up,

setting up the play Tell 'em clear the lane,

I'm on my way (bow,

bow)

Step outside, zip the collar to the chin

Violin crying when the gears lock in Watch the rearview,

nobody creeping in Came from the baseline,

bet on the win (yeah) Tires grip tarmac,

cutting through the frost Never count seconds,

never count the cost

Two hands steady on the leather wheel Everything sharpen,

everything real (bow)

Lights pass fast in the side mirror pane No turning back

when I jump in the lane Almost at the mark now,

look at the time (tick,

tock)

Crossing the line

Tell 'em clear the lane,

I'm on my way Cold wind blowing through the alleyway Engine humming,

I don't hesitate (never)

Keep the pace up,

setting up the play Tell 'em clear the lane,

I'm on my way (bow,

bow)

Corner turned sharp, no hesitation here

Got the destination mapped crystal clear

Strings keep dancing, saw across the wire Cold in the chest but

the motor spits fire (woah)

They were checking on the clock,

wondering where

Dust settling down in the midnight air Pull up to the front,

leave the motor running Told you before that the force was coming (look)

No red lights can hold me back

Steady rhythm on the track (steady,

yeah) Foot on the pedal,

breath on the glass

Watch the whole pavement pass

Tell 'em clear the lane,

I'm on my way Cold wind blowing through the alleyway Engine

humming, I don't hesitate (let's go)

Keep the pace up,

setting up the play Tell 'em clear the lane,

I'm on my way (I'm here now,

bow)

I'm on my way.

Already here.
