When I'm driving down the road I want to feel the speed I push my machine to the max This is what I need My fingers gripping, grip so tight My foot is to the floor My blood is racing through my veins This is my reward Test my fate by living on the edge (on the edge) And if I die I die just like so many others [Chorus] Man and machine - I can't hide my need for speed, I'm the man Man and machine - And I'll try fast as can be My heart is beating with such might I feel it might explode Throwing caution to the wind It flattens down the road The sirens screaming, scream so loud I laugh and sing along The engine makes a noise so sweet As sweet as any sound I feel my hair is standing on its edge (on its edge) I lose control just around the bend [Chorus] Tires squealing, ripping metal It's over in seconds It was so orchestral My body now is beaten and battered As fast as it could be Was all that had mattered [Solo] Man and machine - I can't hide my need for speed, I'm the man Man and machine - If I die don't cry for me, I'm the man Man and machine - Oh, we're as one, man and machine Man and machine...
