Red Barchetta - Rush
My uncle has a country place
that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
before the Motor Law
On Sundays I elude the Eyes
And hop the turbine freight
To far outside the Wire
where my white haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground
As the turbo slows
to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up
and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me
an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been
his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris
that hides the shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
from a better vanished time
Fire up the willing engine
responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge
Well weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air car
shoots toward me
two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
to run the deadly race
Go screaming
through the valley as another
joins the chase

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine
and man
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded
At the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle
At the fireside
