V4.5-ALL

[INTRO]
[sound: radio static, forklift engines, distant warehouse alarms]
[CHECKERFLAG-9 — male voice, crisp filtered radio, calm rally co-driver]
REDLINE-04.
Eyes up.
[REDLINE-04 — male voice, close mic, energized]
I'm up.
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Same route.
Same pace.
[REDLINE-04]
You keep saying that.
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Because you keep asking.
[sound: engine rev, drums start]
[VERSE 1 — CHECKERFLAG-9]
I call the corners
Before they appear
I know every warning
I know every gear
The yellow lines bend
The loading lights fade
But the route keeps moving
The same way it stayed
[CHECKERFLAG-9 — radio]
Left turn.
Slow down.
Watch the pallet.
[REDLINE-04]
I already know.
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Good.
[REDLINE-04]
How do I know?
[pause]
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Keep driving.
[CHORUS — CALL AND RESPONSE]
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Pace notes.
Read the line.
Don't chase yesterday.
Don't chase time.
[REDLINE-04]
Same floor.
Same lane.
Same feeling again.
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Follow the route.
I'll call the turns.
[ALL]
Round and round
The warehouse burns.
[VERSE 2 — CHECKERFLAG-9]
I hear the questions
Before they arrive
I hear the silence
Between every line
You ask where we're going
You ask where we've been
But some roads don't start
Where they begin
[REDLINE-04]
Checker...
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Yeah?
[REDLINE-04]
Have we done this before?
[pause]
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
You tell me.
[BRIDGE — RADIO ONLY]
[sound: static distortion]
[CHECKERFLAG-9 — quieter]
Three left.
Two right.
Straight through the lights.
[REDLINE-04]
How do you remember?
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Someone has to.
[sound: guitars rise]
[FINAL CHORUS]
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Pace notes.
Hold the line.
Keep moving.
You'll be fine.
[REDLINE-04]
Same road.
Same night.
Same impossible signs.
[ALL]
If this is the first run...
Why do we know the way?
If this is the last run...
Why does it feel like yesterday?
[OUTRO]
[sound: radio static fading]
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
REDLINE.
[REDLINE-04]
Yeah?
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
Next corner.
[REDLINE-04]
What corner?
[pause]
[CHECKERFLAG-9]
The one you haven't reached yet.
[sound: radio cuts]
[END TRANSMISSION]
