Choose your fuel
Feed your mind
Start the engine
Turn it over
Let it tick
Grab the stick
Shift it quick
Returning soldier
.
You have to start her up
And if you start her up
She’ll never stop
.
Heed the whispers
In your slipstream
Chase the very most succinct dream
Taste the berries of persuasion
Place a cherry on the whipped cream
Make merry of the heavy freight
That weighs down on unsteady gait
Lengthy wait aside
Incline to make not break your stride
For there are many ways
To illustrate arise
Just as many
To exhilarate the skies
.
You’ll make it Home in time
You’ll make it Home in time
You’ll make it Home in time
.
Spread out the oil
The gasoline
Then walk smooth
Ride in a lean mean machine
Start it up
.
You got to start her up
Kick on the starter give it all you got
You got
You got
.
Choose your fuel
Feed your mind
Start the engine
Turn it over
Let it tick
Grab the stick
Shift it quick
Returning soldier
.
Nought to sixty
Through all fifty
States of mind
For redefining
Choose your fuel
Fire the pistons
Rewire systems
Reignite them
.
You’ll make it Home in time
You’ll make it Home in time
You’ll make it Home in time
.
As eyes dilate and hips gyrate
Get riding easy in a lean mean machine
Start it up
.
Seize the ties that bind
Release them
Free your mind
Seek dreams and weave them
Darn them into quilts
Then spend your days and waking nights beneath them
Better yet
With deft
Achieve them
Do your best
To dress fresh season
Little deaths aside
Confide of uncontested breaths
And breathe them
.
You’ll make it Home in time
(Breathe them)
You’ll make it Home in time
(Breathe them)
You’ll make it Home in time
(Breathe them)
.
Ride like the wind
(Breathe them)
At double speed
(Breathe them)
And go to places that you’ve never never seen
Yeah
.
There are so many ways to brave uneven grounds
Just as many
For believers to be found
.
Choose your fuel
Feed your mind
Start the engine
Turn it over
Let it tick
Grab the stick
Shift it quick
Returning soldier
.
Nought to sixty
Through all fifty
States of mind
For redefining
Choose your fuel
Fire the pistons
Rewire systems
Reignite them
.
Burning nitrous
Turn a crisis
Into words
Applying herbs and spices
Choose your fuel
Be kind
Not cruel
Unspool to widen
Full artistic licence
.
Maybe those too cool for school
Can still find timely cause to be enlightened
.
Do so
And our every sense be heightened
.
