I love to wake you up in the morning, hear your impatient groan
You know it’s me and you know what’s coming
You purr at me, “Bring it on!”
I wrap you with my legs, stroke your levers and brakes
Your muscles made of steel, covered with dark skin
I put my right hand on you, “Listen to me”
I pull it down and here we are
Wrrrrrrr!
We go on a ride, the road is ours, it’s just you and me
His smile, his stride, his goddamn smell—it all disappears
Last night you were the only one
You took me on your back, drunk and mad
You dried my tears with a wave of wind
And your faithful hum
“Everything’s gonna be all right
I will take you home, I will keep you safe
In the endless embrace of the foggy highway”
When I opened my eyes today
You were still there
At the door
Guarding the entrance to my soul.
I press on the gas, we take that curve with verve
They call it the Suicide Corner
Oh, if I died now, I wouldn’t care
What a beautiful death…
What a beautiful death!
With glass and blood in my hair but with a smile on my face
You could kill me in a second
You make me feel so alive instead!
You won’t let me crash and burn
‘Cause we’re one, made of the same clay
Designed for fun rides, doomed to run away
Until they can’t find us, fear and pain
They won’t catch us ever again!
I don’t even remember where you begin and where I end
Your cables and my veins, your engine and my brain
Are connected in perfect understanding
What’s the only thing worth living and dying for
The only thing making us forget and move one
Pumping our hearts with gasoline and blood
The only, the purest, the greatest, true love—
FREEDOM.
