Lyrics for Built For Speed recorded by Manzanera MacKay

I drive out to the edge of town in the night
I drive over the bumpy roads in the cold
Hang on it's a long way to go

The rhythm of all that jive keeps me alive
Far away from the long parade ready made
Hold on it's a hard way to go

Some talk of paradise but I can't say I have been there
Some dream of heaven every day
I have been there

Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
The feeling is so fantastic 'cos she's built for speed

I reach out to the dark terrain in the rain
The headlights try to bring me down turn me round
Hang on it's a hard way to go

Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
The feeling is so fantastic 'cos she's built for speed

Some talk of paradise but I can't say I have been there
Some dream of heaven every day
I have been there

Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
The feeling is so fantastic 'cos she's built for speed

Some talk of paradise but I can't say I have been there
Some dream of heaven nearly every day
I have been there

Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
Ooh ahh in my car, oooh ahh in my car
The feeling is so fantastic 'cos she's built for speed
