There's smell of fresh cut grass
And it's filling up my senses
And the sun is shining down
On the blossoms in the avenue.
There's a buzzing fly hanging
Around the bluebells and the daisies
And there's a lot more loving left in this world.

Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.

And I lie on warm and soft sancly beaches
And my toes are submerged in the water
And it feels good.
Children playing building castles on the shoreline
Like a painted little love and lord
It feels so fine.

Don't go
Don't leave me now now now
While the sun smiles
Stick around and laugh a while yeah.
Uh Huh
Uh Huh

There's white horses and they're
Coming at me and they face now
And there's a blue sirocco
Blowing warm into my face.
The sun is shining on the other side of the bridges
The cars going by with smiles in the windows.

There's a black cat Iying in the
Shadow of the gate-post
And the black cat keeps telling me
That love is on it's way. Yeah

There's a black cat Iying in the

Now shut the door, keep down to south

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

Time is running out and the illusion fades away
Time is running out another day is on its way

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

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

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

Fire away!
This is the race!

Why? (Why?)

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

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

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 its way

This is the race!

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

On the fast lane of the street I'm driving
Sometimes, somewhere, I'm arriving
Every day and every night

Why?
I need this race!

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

Race in my head!
