about

Lots of fun till you become a meat torpedo. Pumped up rock

lyrics

Coming down from Lake Cowichan
It's October 10 and the moon is full and
The air is clear and bright
We just passed a cop
We won't see another one
The lights of Cowichan Bay are twinkling in the distance
She reaches into the glove and pulls out an 8 track
Hendrix Electric Ladyland
And everybody laughs
She reaches into the glove again
And everybody laughs again
The trees are silver in the moonlight
The clouds and mountains in the distance
My foot is pressing down on the gas
and were going faster and faster

And then the speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in

Heading north out of Toronto on the 40I
Its October 3
The moon is full the air is clear
4 lanes straight ahead empty
We just passed a cop
We won't see another
She reaches in to the glove and pulls out a cd
Hendrix Electric Ladyland
And everybody laughs
She reaches into the glove again
And everybody laughs again
Those old farmhouses and telephone poles
And trees are just flying by
My foot's pressing down harder and harder
And we're going faster and faster and faster

And then the speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in

Heading up to the crest
Used all 21 gears
Skaha Lake below so turquoise
I coast to a stop just past
Trees are so green
Air is so warm
I reach down to my I Pod put on Hendrix
Electric Ladyland
Realize everybody else is doing the same
We all laugh
I push off with one foot
Gravity grabs me
Starts to pull me down that hill
The scent of all those hot grasses and trees and the sky so blue
trees are going by
Trees are going by faster and faster and faster

And then the speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
The speed kicks in
