8. High Speed Dirt (4:13)
Do it if you dare: leaping form the sky
Hurling thru the air, exhilarating high
See the earth below - soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death; I'm off to meet my maker!
Energy of the gods, adrenaline surge
Won't stop 'til I hit the ground - I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt!
Paralyzed with fear, feel velocity gain
Entering a near, catatonic state
Pressure of the sound roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground; damned if I'll be dead!
Jump or die!
Dropping all my weight, going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins faster as I go
I forgot my name: I'm a dirt torpedo!
High speed dirt...
Hurling thru the air, exhilarating high
See the earth below - soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death; I'm off to meet my maker!
Energy of the gods, adrenaline surge
Won't stop 'til I hit the ground - I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt!
Paralyzed with fear, feel velocity gain
Entering a near, catatonic state
Pressure of the sound roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground; damned if I'll be dead!
Jump or die!
Dropping all my weight, going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins faster as I go
I forgot my name: I'm a dirt torpedo!
High speed dirt...
