Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shout (Shout)
[Verse 2]
Count on me, I'm gonna win the race
Count on me, I'm gonna win the race
Room-bah-de-boom, the whippering dong
Room-bah-de-boom, the whippering dong
[Verse 3]
Now shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
[Verse 4]
Any track is turning, but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion, but the stopping drives me mad
[Verse 5]
Fire away (Fire away)
[Verse 6]
Time is running out, and the illusion fades away
Time is running out, another day is on its way
[Verse 7]
Time out, a sun was shining, and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about, he knew he couldn't wait
[Verse 8]
Are you ever gonna push me, let me run and let me do?
I need it, and I'm ready, and I haven't got a clue
[Verse 9]
Not any track is turning, but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion, but the stopping drives me mad
[Verse 10]
Fire away (Fire away)
This is the race (This is the race)
[Verse 11]
Why? (Why?)
Burn (Burn)
Shout (Shout)
Lies (Lies)
[Verse 12]
Give me the race
[Verse 13]
Another sun was shining, and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about, he knew he couldn't wait
[Verse 14]
I need this race
[Verse 15]
Are you ever gonna push me, let me run and let me do?
I need it, and I'm ready, and I haven't got a clue
[Verse 16]
Any track is turning, but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion, but the stopping drives me mad
[Verse 17]
Fire away (Fire away)
[Verse 18]
Time is running out, the illusion fades away
Time is running out, another day is on its way
[Verse 19]
This is the race (This is the race)
[Verse 20]
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
This is Billy McKloski from Palm Springs
Reporting for NBC Sports of America
Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first Formula race
On a hot, sunny afternoon here in California
[Verse 21]
On the fast lane of the street, I'm driving
Sometimes, somewhere, I'm arriving
Every day and every night
[Verse 22]
(Why?)
I need this race (I need this race)
[Verse 23]
Count on me, I'm gonna win the race
Count on me, I'm gonna win the race
Room-bah-de-boom, the whippering dong
Room-bah-de-boom, the whippering dong
[Verse 24]
Shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
Shut the door, keep down to south
[Verse 25]
Race in my head
