Professional Driver; Closed Course

I can't pass for an expert on this course anymore
when driving this long, it's either
purely stubborn ignorance,
foolish pride or
a classic case of indifference.

In any case I've crossed that line
overreaction or inaction and
it's only the pure denial in the outcome
that's bringing me down.

So pull me out of the car, it's burning,
the twisted metal and flame,
seventeen stitches and Novocaine,
and I'll be out on the street again.

"...but the road's twisted just so,
and bent in a part,
it's a definitely difficult test
on a track shaped like a heart."
