Pedal to the Metal | Garage Punk Rock | Neon Hook

Five red lights, twenty laps and a driver who is not here for the trophy. "Pedal to the Metal" is a flat-out garage punk rock song about racing - brake so late you feel the world tilt, and the best part of the day is turn eleven in the rain. 172 BPM, distorted power chords and gang vocals. Green light. Get up. ------------------------------------------------- KAPITOLY / CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro - Pedal to the Metal 0:14 Verse 1 - Five Lights 0:39 Chorus - Pedal to the Metal 1:07 Verse 2 - Turn Eleven in the Rain 1:35 Chorus 2:03 Bridge - A Hundred Cold Novembers 2:31 Final Chorus 2:56 Outro ------------------------------------------------- LYRICS [Intro] Pedal to the metal! Hey! Hey! [Verse 1] Red light, five lights, everybody holding still, and the only thing that's moving is the needle and my heart. Twenty laps of nothing but the corner up ahead - there is no such thing as later when you're doing this for real. Green light! Get up! [Chorus] Pedal to the metal, pedal to the metal, brake so late you feel the whole world tilt! Pedal to the metal, pedal to the metal, they can have the trophy, I came here to drive - oh-oh-oh-oh, pedal to the metal! [Verse 2] Second place is sitting in my mirror like a shadow, and the tyres have been screaming since I gave up being careful. Chequered flag is somewhere in the sunlight up ahead, but the best part of the day was turn eleven in the rain. Green light! Get up! [Chorus] Pedal to the metal, pedal to the metal, brake so late you feel the whole world tilt! Pedal to the metal, pedal to the metal, they can have the trophy, I came here to drive - oh-oh-oh-oh, pedal to the metal! [Bridge] And the trick was never talent and the trick was never nerve, it's a hundred cold Novembers in a car park learning lines. So they're welcome to the podium and the flashbulbs and the wine - I have got a perfect corner and a full tank left to burn. (Full tank left to burn!) [Chorus] Pedal to the metal, pedal to the metal, brake so late you feel the whole world tilt! Pedal to the metal, pedal to the metal, they can have the trophy, I came here to drive - oh-oh-oh-oh, pedal to the metal! [Outro] Pedal to the metal. (Full tank left to burn!) Hey! Hey!
