PastaJoe Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 This is Ground Control to Major TomYou've really made the gradeAnd the papers want to know whose shirts you wearNow it's time to leave the capsule if you dare"This is Major Tom to Ground ControlI'm stepping through the doorAnd I'm floating in a most peculiar wayAnd the stars look very different todayFor hereAm I sitting in a tin canFar above the worldPlanet Earth is blueAnd there's nothing I can do“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I've had a Volvo and a Cadillac I've driven everything in between I like the feel driving down the road But now I just cannot forget what I seen This little number's gonna say goodbye To all the gravity and unleaded fuels Yeah my car's pretty good but Space Ship One just rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 My uncle has a country placeThat no one knows aboutHe says it used to be a farmBefore the Motor LawAnd on Sundays I elude the eyesAnd hop the Turbine FreightTo far outside the WireWhere my white-haired uncle waits Jump to the groundAs the Turbo slows to cross the borderlineRun like the windAs excitement shivers up and down my spine Down in his barnMy uncle preserved for me an old machineFor fifty odd yearsTo keep it as new has been his dearest dream I strip away the old debrisThat hides a shining carA brilliant red BarchettaFrom a better vanished timeI fire up the willing engineResponding with a roarTires spitting gravelI commit my weekly crime WindIn my hairShifting and driftingMechanical musicAdrenaline surge... Well-weathered leatherHot metal and oilThe scented country airSunlight on chromeThe blur of the landscapeEvery nerve aware Suddenly ahead of meAcross the mountainsideA gleaming alloy air carShoots towards me, two lanes wideI spin around with shrieking tiresTo run the deadly raceGo screaming through the valleyAs another joins the chase Drive like the windStraining the limits of machine and manLaughing out loud with fear and hopeI've got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridgeI leave the giants stranded at the riversideRace back to the farmTo dream with my uncle at the fireside RIP, Neil Peart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time to sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go) To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 You can choose a ready guideIn some celestial voiceIf you choose not to decideYou still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fearsAnd kindness that can killI will choose a path that's clearI will choose free will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
