[Intro - immediate heavy distorted electric guitar riff, full drums enter] [Female Vocals - rhythmic rap] Two seventeen on an empty road, half a tank left and an hour to go, nothing behind us for twenty damn miles, then two white headlights appear in the mirror. [Female Vocals - building rap] Hold ninety-five, they hold the same. Push one-ten. Nothing changes. Slow to fifty. Still right there. Same two lights. Same distance. Same glare. [Female Vocals - tense] Okay. That's not normal. [Male Vocals - rhythmic rap] Take the next right. They take it too. Left at the bridge. Still coming through. Circle the block. Back to the road. [Male Vocals - building rap] Stop the car. We stop. They stop. Kill our lights. Theirs stay on. [Male Vocals - quiet] What the fuck? [Heavy guitar transition] [Female Vocals - powerful melodic chorus] REDLINE! DON'T YOU SLOW DOWN! KEEP THAT ENGINE SCREAMING TILL WE'RE OUT OF THIS TOWN! REDLINE! DON'T LET IT NEAR! IF THOSE LIGHTS ARE STILL BEHIND US— KEEP YOUR FOOT DOWN, GET US OUT OF HERE! [Instrumental - driving guitar riff] [Male Vocals - extended rapid shout-rap] ENGINE UP! TIRES BITE! THROW US BACK INTO THE NIGHT! EIGHTY! NINETY! ONE-TEN! LOOK IN THE MIRROR— SAME DISTANCE AGAIN! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] FUCK THE LIMIT! FUCK THE SIGNS! EVERY TURN AND IT'S STILL ON OUR LINE! PASS A TRUCK! TAKE THE RAMP! TWO WHITE LIGHTS COMING THROUGH THE FUCKING DARK! [Male Vocals - shouted] HOW IS IT STILL THERE?! [Female Vocals - aggressive rap] Next exit. Gas station. People. Lights. Take it now! Car behind keeps going straight. [Female Vocals - relieved] Gone. [Male Vocals] Finally. [Instrumental - guitar softens] [Male Vocals - exhausted] Pull beneath the station lights. Hands still shaking. We'll be fine. [Female Vocals] Don't say that. [Male Vocals] Why? [Female Vocals - tense] Look ahead. [Heavy guitar slam] [Female Vocals - quiet] Same headlights. Coming toward us. [Male Vocals - extended shout-rap] THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! IT JUST WENT PAST! NOW THE SAME TWO LIGHTS ARE COMING BACK FAST! NO ENGINE SOUND! NO BODY IN SIGHT! JUST TWO WHITE CIRCLES CUTTING THROUGH THE NIGHT! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] BACK IN THE CAR! LOCK EVERY DOOR! FUCK THE COFFEE! WE'RE NOT WAITING ANYMORE! REVERSE OUT! TIRES SCREAM! LIGHTS HIT THE LOT— [Male Vocals - screamed] THERE'S NO FUCKING CAR BEHIND THE BEAMS! [Breakdown - crushing half-time guitar] [Female Vocals - furious shout-rap] JUST THE LIGHTS! NOTHING THERE! TWO WHITE CIRCLES HANGING IN THE FUCKING AIR! THEY TURN WITH US! THEY MATCH OUR SPEED! WHATEVER THEY ARE— [Female Vocals - screamed] THEY KNOW WHAT THEY FUCKING NEED! [Female Vocals - extended rapid shout-rap] FLOOR IT! HIGHWAY! DON'T LOOK BACK! NEEDLE CLIMBING TILL IT'S BURIED IN THE DASH! ENGINE SCREAMS! GUARDRAILS FLY! LIGHTS GET CLOSER FOR THE FIRST FUCKING TIME! [Female Vocals - shouted] FASTER! [Male Vocals] I'M TRYING! [Female Vocals - screamed] FASTER! [Heavy instrumental surge] [Female Vocals - powerful melodic chorus] REDLINE! DON'T YOU SLOW DOWN! KEEP THAT ENGINE SCREAMING TILL WE'RE OUT OF THIS TOWN! REDLINE! DON'T LET IT NEAR! IF THOSE LIGHTS ARE STILL BEHIND US— KEEP YOUR FOOT DOWN, GET US OUT OF HERE! [Male Vocals - rapid shout-rap] NEEDLE IN RED! ENGINE TOO HOT! LIGHTS SIX FEET BACK AND THEY'RE CLOSING THE GAP! THEN THE SKY TURNS GRAY! MORNING ARRIVES! FIRST LINE OF SUNLIGHT CUTS ACROSS THE SKY! [Male Vocals - building] Headlights flicker. Once. Twice. Gone. [Instrumental drops to distorted guitar] [Female Vocals - exhausted] They're gone. [Male Vocals] I don't care. [Female Vocals] How long are you driving? [Male Vocals] Until the sun's all the way up. [Female Vocals] Good answer. [Final Chorus - Female Vocals - powerful] REDLINE! DON'T YOU SLOW DOWN! LET THE MORNING FIND US ANYWHERE BUT THAT TOWN! REDLINE! DAYLIGHT'S HERE! NO MORE LIGHTS IN THE MIRROR— NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR. [Instrumental - heavy guitar riff] [Male Vocals - tense] Check the fuel gauge. [Female Vocals] Why? [Male Vocals] We've been driving for three hours. [Female Vocals] And? [Male Vocals - quiet] It hasn't moved. [Pause] [Female Vocals] Keep driving. [Outro - distorted electric guitar riff, abrupt stop]
