lyrics

Set up on the starting block
The announcer calls my name
I got lightning bolts beneath my feet
And thunder in my veins
It's gonna be something new
Racing to the sun
A perfect day
A gentle breeze
Just one cloud in the sky
Spin around till we get dizzy
We been keeping busy
Buckled in side by side
Racing to the sun
I like the way you slip and slide
I dig your easy way
Arms that always open wide
And welcome me to stay
Every day
Trigger pulled, the pistol rang
Two hundred miles per hour
Hit the speed of light
Went through a meteor shower
I risk my life
Racing to the sun
Oh man of wars
Drone attacks
Vast conspiracies
All the armies of the world
Incurable disease
Nothing will hold me back
Racing to the sun.
I like the way you stop and go
Yet cover every mile
Eyes that always say hello
Come and stay a while
You make me smile
