Lyrics;

I got my hands on the wheel,
I got my eye on the line.
I got a five to one odds,
and the girl;
Well she ain't got much on,
sweat, she's feeling the heat,
rubber spinning in time
with my head.
Breathing smoke once again,
flames they dance 'round my head,
will I get to the end,
will she love me.

My baby hates a loser,
she only loves a mover,
the world is spinning over and over,
she's my superbird lover.

Do I put the foot down
when she's ready to blow,
Should I lay rubber down,
risking death.
Driving with my eyes blind,
now I'm holding my breath,
and pouring with sweat,
So close to God.
I can feel the flames rise,
heat peeling the tyres,
feel my hair catch alight
get me out of here.

My baby hates a loser,
she only loves a mover,
the world is spinning over and over,
she's my superbird lover.

My baby hates me.
My baby won't have me.
I've only got this wreck,
now I'm second best.

I got my hands on the wheel,
I got my foot off the brake,
I got nil to one odds,
I don't care.
I'm gonna put the foot down
I'm gonna rip off the clutch,
I'm gonna scream down the line
like a god.
I see the end in my view,
no other here to beat me,
I pull in a record time,
now does she love me?
My baby hates a loser,
she only loves a mover,
the world is spinning over and over,
she's my superbird lover.
My baby hates a loser,
she only loves a mover,
the world is spinning over and over,
she's my superbird lover.
