It all happens fast
The face of fear on those tracks
The choo choo outta sight in
The red pulse of flashing light
Eyes water a scarlett sky
In the horizon of pavement
`
Stop? Go? suspended in surreal
Reverse goes neutral, neutral goes no where
Half in, half out and the white gate lowers
Flashing red amps up the heart’s beat
Breath stops in urgent hope
This isn’t the track wanted
`
The tap tap of the white gate on the roof
Slam the car in drive
Slam the car in drive
Race for you life
Start breathing again
