[Intro] (Deep, thumping kick drum establishes a steady rhythm) (A repetitive, dusty electric guitar riff fades in) (Warm, buzzing synthesizer bass) [Verse 1] The floodlights hum a heavy note... the asphalt’s stickin’ hot We brought our pistons and our pride... to this godforsaken spot The gears are grinding metal teeth... the oil begins to burn Every driver fightin’ gravity... to make the jagged turn (Vocals are dry and close to the mic) We’re loud and heavy, rust and bone... shaking up the ground Just prayin' that a finish line... is waiting to be found [Chorus] (Bassline drops deeper, groove intensifies) The crowd is screaming bloody murder The human engines cough and choke But that teardrop shadow passes by Without a single drift of smoke It don't need gas... it don't need luck It glides upon the track And the loudest thing in here tonight Is the silent car in black [Instrumental Break] (Hypnotic guitar loop repeats over swirling sci-fi synth textures) [Verse 2] It ain't got wheels that I can see... it hovers on the line No rivets in the bodywork... no maker's mark or sign Just a perfect falling raindrop... made of void and polished glass It doesn't fight the wind at all... it simply lets it pass We’re screaming in the danger zone... rattling our chains It takes a Sunday drive... inside the hurricane [Bridge] (Minimal percussion, focus on the voice) They say the house won't always win That the odds are fair and square But looking at that silent thing I see a nightmare standing there It fits the road too perfectly... like a key inside a lock We just hammer on the wall... racing against the clock [Chorus] The crowd is screaming bloody murder The human engines cough and choke But that teardrop shadow passes by Without a single drift of smoke It don't need gas... it don't need luck It glides upon the track And the loudest thing in here tonight Is the silent car in black [Outro] (Beat continues steadily) (Guitar delays echoing into space) Round and round... Not a sound... It never stops... (Fade out on the kick drum) [End]
