Red Barchetta

[00:45.59] My uncle has a country place
[00:48.99] That no one knows about
[00:52.15] He says it used to be a farm
[00:55.54] Before the Motor Law
[00:58.81] And on Sundays I elude the eyes
[01:02.23] And hop the Turbine Freight
[01:05.37] To far outside the Wire
[01:08.15] Where my white-haired uncle waits
[01:32.35] Jump to the ground
[01:33.70] As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
[01:38.96] Run like the wind
[01:40.30] As excitement shivers up and down my spine
[01:45.59] Down in his barn
[01:47.06] My uncle preserved for me an old machine
[01:50.38] For fifty odd years
[01:52.17] To keep it as new has been his dearest dream
[02:00.22] I strip away the old debris
[02:03.22] That hides a shining car
[02:06.67] A brilliant red Barchetta
[02:09.26] From a better vanished time
[02:13.44] I fire up the willing engine
[02:16.66] Responding with a roar
[02:20.12] Tires spitting gravel
[02:22.56] I commit my weekly crime
[02:41.78] Wind
[02:42.86] In my hair
[02:46.05] Shifting and drifting
[02:51.83] Mechanical music
[02:57.64] Adrenaline surge
[03:07.00] Well-weathered leather
[03:08.58] Hot metal and oil
[03:10.14] The scented country air
[03:13.59] Sunlight on chrome
[03:15.13] The blur of the landscape
[03:16.98] Every nerve aware
[03:55.21] Suddenly ahead of me
[03:58.16] Across the mountainside
[04:01.35] A gleaming alloy air car
[04:04.26] Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
[04:07.82] I spin around with shrieking tires
[04:11.45] To run the deadly race
[04:14.53] Go screaming through the valley
[04:17.22] As another joins the chase
[04:41.55] Drive like the wind
[04:43.10] Straining the limits of machine and man
[04:48.00] Laughing out loud with fear and hope
[04:51.01] I've got a desperate plan
[04:54.62] At the one-lane bridge
[04:56.03] I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
[05:01.19] Race back to the farm
[05:03.08] To dream with my uncle at the fireside
[05:07.27]
