The "Solid State (Eight Track)" 10"

DECHROMED

Welcome to this drag strip date,
the finish's gone and our priorities are straight.
The condition "mint" can't describe a car this mean,
but this ain't no trailer queen.

A backalley wreck suits me fine.
I don't want no showroom shine.
Dechromed.

The lustre is shit and you can peel off flakes,
the seats got holes and we've got no brakes.
With the car lined up, hear the popcorn sound,
a push on the gas and wheels go round and round.

A backalley wreck suits me fine.
I don't want no showroom shine.
Dechromed.

STREET DOMINATOR

I always have to defend my choice of daily driving beast.
But my life post Mr Norm has been a full time steering feast.
And when my wagon-driving neightbour say that he can load in more.
I want to grab that pistolgrip & push my foot through the floor.

To keep this sucker running it gets harder day by day.
But heads are turned, tyres burned, I won't give it away.

Gas can never cost too much and neither can the parts.
It takes some time and I'm out to shut down Darts.
The well-conducted shiver when my taillights disappear.
It doesn't mean a thing when my kind of people cheer.

To keep this sucker running it gets harder day by day.
But heads are turned, tyres burned, I won't give it away.

It's my dailydriving monster and it will keep rolling on.
I got my Holley Dominator and I pump the brakes for none.
Life is good when I dominate the street.
It's been in brawls but my Holley can take the heat.

It's a big old piece of metal but it moves like it's on fire.
Some tries to strut their sleepers but they can't beat this livewire.

It's my dailydriving monster and it will keep rolling on.
I got my Holley Dominator and I pump the brakes for none.
Life is good when I dominate the street.
It's been in brawls but my Holley can take the heat.

SHUTDOWN!

I am ready for the run, all psyched up in the chute.
Eyeballing my rivals with my raked front at the route.
The motor´s tuned perfect, it´s excitement to the core.
It´s far from Sunday driving, more like a motor war.

Yellow. Yellow. Yellow. Green. Go !

Staring at the Christmas tree to get out of here just right.
Peaking out the engine just waiting for the light.
The quarter in 10 seconds and I will win this fight.
It's all right for shutdown there´s no way that I´ll be wiped.

Gotta show my skills, gotta show that I´m the boss.
I´m up against some hot dogs but I don´t give a toss.
Compared to me they´re strokin´ it or is it me who wail?
I´m steering a real hauler, it´s running like on rail.

Yellow. Yellow. Yellow. Green. Go !

Staring at the Christmas tree to get out of here just right.
Peaking out the engine just waiting for the light.
The quarter in 10 seconds and I will win this fight.
It's all right for shutdown there´s no way that I´ll be wiped.

Shifting like a madman with eyes peeled on the tach.
I nail `em down precisely, I´m far ahead of the pack.
My motor´s got all goodies, I mean the entire kit.
I hit the brakes as winner, then I go back into the pit.

(Features the trademark "Mad Dog" Tossavainen vocals!)

MIDNIGHT FROLICS

Hand me the good times, why don't you pass me the fun.
Cuz when the night comes ripping, I wanna kick in the sun.
I am a midnight enforcer, I'm the president of wheels.
Don't tell me I'm rambling cuz you know how it feels.

I got the cards and I'll play them right.
I wanna tear off heads tonite.
Open throttle is my aim and plan.
Midnight frolics, I'm a simple man.

Booze, cards and ladies, I know the perfect schack.
My tach´s in the red but I betting on black.
I demand the whole she-bang and without wait.
I'm so heated up that I can't walk straight.

I got the cards and I'll play them right.
I wanna tear off heads tonite.
Open throttle is my aim and plan.
Midnight frolics, I'm a simple man.

Bring on the booze and then pop me some ups.
I don't wanna sleep when I'm with my sick pups.
Midnite's long gone but I keep up the pace.
Always an extra bottle with me, I bring it in case.

I got the cards and I'll play them right.
I wanna tear off heads tonite.
Open throttle is my aim and plan.
Midnight frolics, I'm a simple man.

HOLESHOT

I can't believe how you can go this far,
is it worth so much to be a grade E star?
On display around the clock,
and find yourself with a braindead jock.

If you accept the role you get in this twisted plot.
Get prepared to hear their screams:
"Zoom in, get that holeshot!"

Another dumb degenerates show,
your pride and face is worn out slow.
More drunken mayhem gives them proof,
that stuff puts ratings through the roof.

If you accept the role you get in this twisted plot.
Get prepared to hear their screams:
"Zoom in, get that holeshot!"

When you're more than ever a mental case,
you get voted out of that stinking place.
You're on the streets and the sky is blue,
but that tv-show kept a part of you.

If you accept the role you get in this twisted plot.
Get prepared to hear their screams:
"Zoom in, get that holeshot!"
