[Intro] [fast double-bass drumming, harmonized distorted guitars] Burning tires! [pick slide] Harder, faster! [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar chugging, slap bass enters] Concrete breaking under summer air Pitch rising, flash of metal bright Scorch victory, rubber meeting road A hazy grip against the steering wheel Waiting, watch the red and white Everything you see [Chorus] [full power metal instrumentation] Faster than the light can catch us now, Ridge Racer! Faster than the breath inside my lungs, racing through the circuit tonight Drifting on the edge of the blue Go! Burning tires! Harder, faster! [Verse 2] [bass-driven groove, staccato guitar stabs] Egos stand there on the starting grid Cool breeze, silence starts to point the way Beauty hides the fire I kick the clutch into a 4.0 Pedal down, engine screaming like a silver beast Wide awake! [Chorus] Faster than the light can catch us now, Ridge Racer! Faster than the breath inside my lungs, racing through the circuit tonight Drifting on the edge of the blue Go! [Bridge] [technical guitar solo, sweep picking, rapid scale runs] Summer heat, summer burn, summer's on it Apex turn, ninety degrees You're breaking off the line! [Guitar Solo continues] [wah-pedal lead, harmonized melodies] [Chorus] Faster than the light can catch us now, Ridge Racer! Faster than the breath inside my lungs, racing through the circuit tonight Drifting on the edge of the blue Go! Burning tires! Harder, faster! [vocal ad-lib] (Whoa-oh-oh!) Burning tires! Harder, faster, faster, faster, faster!
