Lyrics
Redefine your parameters Accelerate the shit you can give now Your machine, your best friend Life in cars And in a world of your own License to leave you alone Does tin can equal a happy man? Life in cars Start it up We're just along for the ride How come you're shaking inside? We're just along for the ride No one'll find out where you live (life in cars) You're like a cat with a honk for a hiss and (life in cars) Your machine, your best friend Life in cars And in a world of your own (life in cars) Your license to leave you alone (life in cars) Does tin can equal a happy man? (life in cars) Start it up. We're just along for the ride How come you're shaking inside? We're just along for the ride When you're caught in a jam Should've stayed in bed Excessive speed is screwing with my head Click in time was all he said Just slow down, gonna wind up dead Slow down, gonna wind up dead (Life in cars) Redefine your parameters Accelerate the shit you can give (Life in cars) Does tin can equal a happy man? Thank your lucky stars (thank your lucky stars) for a life in cars (for a life in cars) Thank your lucky stars (thank your lucky stars) for a life in cars (for a life in cars) (Start it up) Thank your lucky stars (thank your lucky stars) for a life in cars (for a life in cars) (Start it up)Thank your lucky stars (thank your lucky stars) for a life in cars (for a life in cars) For a life in cars (start it up) Just along for the ride (for a life in cars) How come you're shaking inside (just along for the ride)
