Sometimes you need to clear your head

Some days you can't sit still for it

I went looking for a purpose

For some truth inside the myth

Cast my eyes beneath every single rock

That they tried to stone me with



I was shot down in a dizzy spell

Cast out of the wishing well

Under the hammer

Out on the tiles

Rolling in the aisles



On your marks and off the blocks

I'm the fastest man alive

And you can't get belted in when the devil drive



I am I, Don Quixote

That crazy old so-and-so

Looking for that smoking gun

That set me on this road

I am driven to distraction

And I'm driven by my fear

I may be driven to my grave

But the driver's face is never clear



I was called out at reveille

Somebody set their sights on me

Take twenty paces, pistols at dawn

Next thing you know you're gone



On your marks and off the blocks

I'm the fastest man alive

And you can't get belted in when the devil drives

No regrets, no safety nets

For the fastest man alive

I'll be waiting for the champagne to arrive



On your marks and off the charts

I'm the fastest man alive

And you can't get belted in when the devil drives

No regrets, no safety nets

For the fastest man alive

I'll be waiting for the champagne to arrive
