Lyrics
The girl at Baker's Delight
The girl working at Baker's Delight
Locks up for the night
Locks up the bakery for the night
A church nearby
There's a church nearby
Makes a savage point in the sky
Reference to a prominent church spire in the sky
And over the street at C1 Speed
C1 Speed is introduced, the starting point for the narrative
Is where it all begins
Events unfold at C1 Speed
Arrive and drive at the starting line
Describes the start of a racing journey, a metaphor for life
Of your strip apprenticeship
Beginning of a journey, learning and experiences
On your marks
Invokes a racing metaphor, preparing for life's challenges
I'm always speeding
Expresses a constant sense of urgency or haste
Ready set go
Symbolizes the start of an endeavor
In the middle of leaving
In the midst of leaving or departing
On your marks
Reiteration of readiness for life's challenges
I'm always speeding home
Continued urgency and speed towards home
Cross my heart and hope to strike
Expresses commitment or sincerity
At the alley under UV lights
Scene transition to an alley under UV lights
Head to toe, dressed in white
Describes someone dressed entirely in white
I pray they play One More Time
Hopes for a specific song, possibly for personal significance
As I send another down the gutter
Playing a game (bowling) and sending another ball down the lane
Where's the cop at the top of the hill
Looking for a police officer at the top of the hill
Ticking over their penalty quota
Officers fulfilling their ticket quota
Legend has it they trick the traffic
Rumors of tricks to manipulate traffic, but the habit persists
But I can't kick the habit
Unable to break the habit of speeding
On your marks
Reiteration of the racing metaphor, emphasizing constant speed
I'm always speeding
Continued sense of urgency and speed
Ready set go
Symbolizes the start of leaving or departing
In the middle of leaving
Midst of leaving, possibly a recurring theme
On your marks
Repetition of readiness for life's challenges
I'm always speeding home
Continued urgency and speed towards home
Don't slow down
An admonition to keep moving, not to slow down
Everyone's speeding
Everyone is in a hurry or rushing
Rip through the strip
Describes a rapid movement through a particular area
Swiping off mirrors
Action of swiping off mirrors suggests recklessness or speed
Getting home now
Implying the need to get home quickly, no lingering
No-one's sticking around
Suggests a lack of attachment or commitment, a transient nature
A highway town
Characterizes the setting as a town focused on highways and movement
