Blacktop Ritual

English lyrics

[Verse 1] This car ain’t usual, the road knows my name, Call it in, take off, leave the weight in the flame. Forget the past, let it fade, put a dot in the dust, If the world stays cold, still I drive, still I trust. Black glass on the dash, no time for a lie, I learned how to move when the pressure was high. Tires on the asphalt, a vow in the frame, Every mile I erase, every mile I reclaim. [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the wheel, stay locked in, Old fear talkin’, let it fall in. Front end shaking, but I don’t break, One breath in, then I make that take. [Chorus] Gas, gas, gas Hum in the low-end throb No looking back now Keep the motion in the job Gas, gas, gas Hear the crowd go hard No looking back now I’m already that far [Verse 2] I don’t need a halo, I need open space, Need a clear line ahead and a steady face. Chrome on the corner, rain on the hood, I was built for the bend and the misunderstood. Every red light feels like a dare to me, Every closed gate just another key. I don’t fold when the night gets deep, I turn the fear into fuel and keep it cheap. [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the wheel, stay locked in, Old fear talkin’, let it fall in. Front end shaking, but I don’t break, One breath in, then I make that take. [Chorus] Gas, gas, gas Hum in the low-end throb No looking back now Keep the motion in the job Gas, gas, gas Hear the crowd go hard No looking back now I’m already that far [Bridge] Let the old names burn out slow, Let the dead weight go. I don’t beg the dark to leave, I make it move for me. [Breakdown] Step, step, step Right through the cold Step, step, step Still in control [Final Chorus] Gas, gas, gas Hum in the low-end throb No looking back now Keep the motion in the job Gas, gas, gas Hear the crowd go hard No looking back now I’m already that far Gas, gas, gas Burn it down the block No looking back now I don’t ever stop
