'The Race' - Yello

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
This is Billy Mckloski from Palm Springs reporting for NBC Sports of
America
Twenty seconds to the start of the thirty-first Formula Race on a hot
Sunny afternoon here in California!
-I Need This Race!

Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
-Give me this race!

Not any track I'm turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
-Gmme a break!
Shout! (shout!)
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong

Now shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way

Not any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait

Fire away!
This is the race!
On the fast lane of the street I'm driving
Sometimes, somewhere, I'm arriving
Every day and every night
Give me a break!

I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue
Are you ever gonna push me let me run and let me do
I need it and I'm ready and I haven't got a clue

Another sun was shining and he knew he wasn't great
He didn't ever talk about he knew he couldn't wait
Why?
Burn!
Shout!
Lies!

Give me the race!

I need this race!

Any track is turning but the race is in my head
I'm attacking the illusion but the stopping drives me mad

Fire away!

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on it's way

This is the race!

Why?
I need this race!
------------studio lyrcis version:
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Count on me I'm gonna win the race
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong
Room-dah-bee-boom the whippering dong

Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south
Shut the door keep down to south

The Race is in my head!
