| There’s a key and a spark
|
| And then out of the dark
|
| Comes a sound of a snare and a skin
|
| And the pulse of a drum
|
| Say something’s to come
|
| There’s a journey that’s about to begin
|
| An' like a fire and smoke, vodka and coke
|
| Certain combinations seem to attract
|
| So when you pull down the rear-view to see what’s near
|
| You find a double bass got in the back
|
| An' suddenly these guys call out to some keys guys
|
| And shout, «Climb in please guys, there’s space in this song here for you»
|
| So sit back
|
| Strap in
|
| Keep your hands inside the car
|
| Just check your belt and tighten
|
| Secure all your loose items
|
| With these guys around, we’re gonna hit the speed of sound
|
| But before we say go, hey
|
| Does anybody know who’s drivin' this thing?
|
| The needle starts shaking cause the motor’s waking up
|
| And all the horns start coming to life
|
| With a big low growl like a cat on the prowl
|
| Then a stab, sharp as a knife
|
| To reach light speed all y’need is a few more reeds in a song
|
| Five saxes in a row rise out the back, blow hard an' all the stars go long
|
| Just when you panic this thing is not aerodynamic
|
| You find you’ve got wings as the strings climb aboard
|
| So sit back
|
| Strap in
|
| Keep your hands inside the car
|
| Just check your belt and tighten
|
| Secure all your loose items
|
| With these guys around, we’re gonna hit the speed of sound
|
| But before you say go, hey
|
| Does anybody know who’s drivin' this thing?
|
| Yeah, who’s driving this thing?
|
| Yeah, who’s driving this thing?
|
| On a wing and a prayer (Yes we are)
|
| Are we happy back there? |
| (Yes we are)
|
| Are we worse for wear? |
| (Yes we are)
|
| Does anybody care? |
| (No)
|
| Speed takes what control you’ve got
|
| You have fabulous sails
|
| But if you haven’t got a rudder you haven’t got a yacht
|
| Hey
|
| Temperature’s rising, the engine is hissing
|
| The guys reminisce how this whole thing got started
|
| You realise the part of the band you’ve been missing
|
| Music is only a song if you sing
|
| God, Don’t tell me the singer is driving this thing
|
| Sit back
|
| Strap in
|
| Keep your hands inside the car
|
| Just check your belt and tighten
|
| Secure all your loose items
|
| At last I understand, if you’re a player in this band
|
| It means you’ve got a hand on the wheel
|
| If you beat, strum or blow scrape or sing
|
| Which means you are alive in this
|
| Everyone’s driving this thing
|
| In 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
|
| Okay, open the doors and let 'em in |
