Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
It really was a meeting
The bottle took a beating
The ladies of the manor
Watched me climb into my car
[Verse 2]
And I was goin' down the track about a hundred and five
They had the stopwatch rollin'
And the headlights blazin', I was really alive
And yet my mind was blowin'
[Verse 3]
I drank a bottle of tequila, and I felt real good
I had the tape deck roarin'
But at the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn
I went off exploring
[Chorus]
Knew I wouldn't make it, the car just couldn't take it
I was turning, tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing, the bitch was trashed
And death was in my eyes
[Verse 4]
Started pretty good and I was feelin' my way
Had the wheels in motion
There was Peter and the Greenfly laughing like drains
Inebriation
[Verse 5]
The crowd was roarin', I was at Brands Hatch
In my imagination
At the canal turn, I hit an oily patch
Inebriation
[Chorus]
Knew I wouldn't make it, the car just couldn't take it
I was turning, tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing, the bitch was trashed
And death was in my eyes
[Chorus]
Ooh, mister miracle, you saved me from some pain
I thank you, mister miracle, I won't get trashed again
Ooh, can you hear my lies?
Don't you bother with this fool, just laugh into my eyes
[Chorus]
I was turning, tires burning
The ground was in my sky
I was laughing, the bitch was trashed
Death was in my eyes
[Chorus]
Ooh, mister miracle, you saved me from some pain
I thank you, mister miracle, I won't get trashed again
Ooh, can you hear my lies?
Don't you bother with this fool, just laugh into my eyes
[Verse 6]
Went to the bar and hit the bottle again
But there was no tequila
Then we started on the whiskey just to steady our brains
'Cause there was no tequila
[Verse 7]
As we drank a little faster at the top of our hill
We began to roll
And as we got trashed, we were laughing still
Bless my soul
[Outro]
Yeah, oh, yeah
