How can I defend
Let's live for now and not then
We're chasing tail lights, let 'em fade into the
distance
Let's say the engine stalled and start again
Turn around, let's turn around
It's a dark road we'd been heading down
Trust me tonight

I swear I know where we are
We're gonna run all the lights
We're gonna blow right through the radar
Fast cars
We are fast cars
How can I pretend
The signs don't say "dead end"

So many hearts just wind up in a junkyard
And memories are nothing but spare parts
Turn around, just turn around
We'll leave the past behind us now
Come on, we ain't gonna crash
It's time we... rolling down
We'll pull ahead of the pack
Slipping through the cracks

'cause we are
Fast cars
On a long ride
Take your foot off the brake
Let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars
On the inside

There's no turning back
On the highway of life
Fast cars
We are fast cars
Shala, shala
Flying through the stop signs
Shala, shala
Running over...

Shala, shala
... down the daylight
... deep like white lines
Holding on for our lives
We are fast cars
We are fast cars
On a long ride
Take your foot off the brake
Let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars
On the inside

There's no turning back
On this highway tonight
Shala, shala
Shala, shala
We are fast cars
Shala, shala
We are fast cars
We are fast cars
