| Sitting here in my mean machine — I’m ready to explode | 
| Looking out of my helmet at the faces | 
| I been wondering all night long — If I will live or die | 
| Yeah, it’s always the same before the races | 
| I got some hot line information | 
| About the man who’s occupation is driving the cars | 
| Standing out there on the grid | 
| And it’s a kind of fascination — And it demands full concentration | 
| The kind of a job | 
| We all dreamed of as a kid | 
| I can see on the track ahead — the heat is rising high | 
| Gotta win for the team and it’s never easy | 
| I been feeling the butterflies — strapped into my seat | 
| Yeah, and already the tension’s getting to me | 
| We’re waiting in anticipation | 
| For some official indication — They’re ready to go | 
| Revving up and hit the road | 
| 'Cause it’s another big occasion | 
| And there won’t be no relaxation — They’re ready to go | 
| And they’re Ready To Explode | 
| You’re gonna drive 'em round the bend | 
| Have a go on the chicane | 
| Gonna drive 'em round the bend | 
| Without a warning — Ready Now To Explode | 
| Who’s gonna be the big sensation? | 
| Who’ll be the champion of the nation? | 
| In one of them cars — Standing out there on the grid | 
| He’s gonna get a big ovation | 
| Be the champion of the nation | 
| The kind of a thrill we all dreamed of as a kid | 
| I don’t wanna break down | 
| And I wanna explode | 
| Don’t let me break down | 
| I wanna explode | 
| Ever since I was just thirteen, I had a crazy, reoccuring dream | 
| To be faster than the speed of sound | 
| It was the only way to get around, oh yeah | 
| (Speeding in my dreams) | 
| Seventeen and I passed my test — Never settling for second best | 
| I knew right away what I’d like | 
| It was a 750 motorbike, oh yeah | 
| (Speeding in my dreams) | 
| I was living for speed | 
| Explode |
