The RaceTrack

Cars fly round this twisting track
The speed it makes me sick

Thousands and thousands of scrap metal heaps
Litter the ground as we speak

The sky is on fire, a tortuous affair
I fly round the same wreckage twice

I’ve seen this before the chaos unleashed
The crash I can feel coming on

Drive round a circle all of you fools!
The devil he laughs in delight

The sky is on fire and now as I turn
I see the next turn in my route

Another car crashes and I jump out to help
Call for a tow truck to come

I reach for the car, the smoldering wreck
I help a man his to his feet

As behind me my car it explodes into flame
My way home seems so hopelessly long

But I know why I’m here as I’ve known all along
I’ll Walk with my brother, arm in arm

"Be Strong and Always Remember what made you you." Earl

"Ooo!!! Ooo!! I know! I know! um...he he" Earl
(Yes I am crazy)
