LyricsShow lyrics

D F C A

She only needs two things
one is her man the other is speed
He only needs his wings
a long stretch of road where he can be free

Bb C A F-D-
Fast Lane Junkies are ready to go
Pedal to the metal when they’re out on the road
Fast Lane Junkies are ready to die
Foot on the gas and they’re ready to fly

He wants his wheels on the road
wind in his hair wherever he goes
She sits behind on his metal steed
holding her man and feeling him breathe

Fast Lane Junkies are ready to go
Pedal to the metal when they’re out on the road
Fast Lane Junkies are ready to die
Foot on the gas and they’re ready to fly

Gm
Hemi-powered lovers don’t need a home
they’re satiated where sunshine meets chrome
Hemi-powered lovers crave the thrill of the ride
They have a thirst for living and they’re willing to die

Solo - D C G Bb-A-

Fast Lane Junkies are ready to go
Pedal to the metal when they’re out on the road
Fast Lane Junkies are ready to die
Foot on the gas and they’re ready to fly

Fast Lane Junkies are out of control
Pedal to the metal when they’re out on the road
Fast Lane Junkies are ready to fly
Foot on the gas and they’re willing to die

Rock guitar! I like the harmonies. Nice use of double and halftime. Nice synth. The song seems a little incomplete.

Suitably punk/fuzz rockish for my tastes. I like the dark middle breakdown. Vocals are pretty smooth, almost too much for the double-time sections. No challenge worries here.

KrautKätzchen: This is all round pretty good fun. Mix seems a bit muddy, and the ride in the middle bit is proper sketchy. Interesting choice of vocal style.

I wish you'd posted your lyrics to the lyrics thread, because they're a bit muffled and buried. I like that you flex your RAWK muscle this week, and I love how you integrated your challenge into the chorus. On paper I don't mind the switch to half-time for the bridge, but the unfortunate side effect is that that section drags a bit much. Proportionately, it feels like your song is half bridge. That's not enough of a flaw to keep you out of the top half of my rankings, though.
