Engine Code [Intro] (Trockener, fettreifender Schlagzeug-Groove, tief schiebender Bass, kratziges Gitarren-Riff) [Verse 1 - Female Lead] (Kräftige, selbstbewusste Stimme; treibender Bass & Schlagzeug) Two A.M. and the highway’s clear No reason left to stay around here Dashboard glowing with a red alert Too much talking, too much dirt [Verse 2 - Male Lead] (Raue, direkte Stimme; E-Gitarre steigt trocken ein) Engine roaring, ready to blow Counting down till we hit the road No more sitting on a broken bench Got a grip on the heavy wrench [Pre-Chorus - Both / Duet Trade-off] (Female) You’re stepping hard on the pedal now! (Male) We’re breaking out of this town somehow! (Female) No soft talk, no compromise! (Both) LOOK ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYES! [Chorus - Duet] (FETTE DRUMS! Drückender, bodenständiger Hard-Rock-Refrain, zweistimmig, treibende Riffs) (Female Lead) HIT THE GAS AND CLEAR THE LANE! (Male Lead) CUTTING THROUGH THE WIND AND RAIN! (Both) WE AIN’T ASKING FOR PERMISSION TONIGHT! WE’RE TAKING OFF IN THE FULL HEADLIGHT! (Female) NO SLOW DOWN! (Male) NO TURN BACK! (Both) WE’RE RUNNING ON A STRAIGHTER TRACK! [Verse 3 - Duet / Alternating] (Female) Rain is splashing on the hot front hood (Male) Doing things that we never could (Female) Hard-headed, moving fast (Male) Leaving all the static in the past! [Pre-Chorus - Both / Duet Trade-off] (Drum-Fills, Gitarren chuggen trocken durch) (Female) You’re stepping hard on the pedal now! (Male) We’re breaking out of this town somehow!

(Female) (Making it real!) (Male) Steel frame, heavy load... (Female) (Owning the road!) (Both) PUSH IT RIGHT TO THE EDGE! [Guitar & Drum Solo] (FETTE DRUMS! Dreckiges, melodiöses E-Gitarren-Solo über treibendem Drums-und-Bass-Groove – absolut ohne Streicher oder Effekthascherei) [Final Chorus - Duet] (MAXIMALE ENERGIE! Beide Stimmen voll da, knackiges Schlagzeug, breite Riff-Wand) (Female Lead) HIT THE GAS AND CLEAR THE LANE! (Male Lead) CUTTING THROUGH THE WIND AND RAIN! (Both) WE AIN’T ASKING FOR PERMISSION TONIGHT! WE’RE TAKING OFF IN THE FULL HEADLIGHT! (Female) NO SLOW DOWN! (Male) NO TURN BACK! (Both) WE’RE RUNNING ON A STRAIGHTER TRACK! [Outro] (Kurzes, knackiges Riff-Finale auf den Punkt) (Female) Engine’s hot. (Male) Road is ours. (Endet trocken auf Schlagzeug-Becken hit)
