Reluctantly crouched at the starting line

[RaynorWolfcastle]

:music:The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns. :music:

 

[n0cmonkey]

Ok.

[RaynorWolfcastle]

No Cake fans, here at this hour?

 

[Ikonomi]

Aw, I was hoping it was only a few lines so I could sing the rest.

:music: He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone (all alone!)
In her time of need...
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.:music:

Someone else can do the verse.

:music: No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He?s haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he?s still driving,still making the grade.
She?s hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he?s racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He?s fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he?s striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns. :music:

LET ME GO (coolest cake guitar riff )

 

[conjur]

I put that as the first track on any CD I burn. That way, when I'm driving and some asshat starts "going the distance", I skip back to that track in honor of the asshat's driving prowess.

Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly.
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?

How do you afford your rock n roll lifestyle?

 

[thirdlegstump]

One of my fav bands. Killer basslines and the guitarist is quite amazing.

 

[nageov3t]

Cake rocks. They're one of the few bands that where I've liked every song on every album that they've ever produced.

the suck live, though
