"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Okay, so you've never done this before and that's cool
And all but I want you to try this with me,
Let's go, don't worry
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
I once used to dream of peace until I found you,
Once upon a time baby,
I once used to dream so sweet until I had a taste of you,
Once upon a time baby,
Reaching out to outer space dancing to awesome sounds,
This all new to you?
Reaching out to hold your close so I don't slip away,
Explore a new approach,
A whole new free I say
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
I know it's easy to imagine,
But it's easier to just do,
See, if you can't do what you imagine,
Then what is imagination to you?
Just a waste of space in your brain,
To take the place of hate,
Or things all the same,
Tell me your secrets
The things that make you tick,
I like it when you talk
Because your voice is angelesque (aye),
I want to kiss you on your space below your navalette
The taste that you keep neat, so moist like a towelette,
This will mark the day our minds and souls will connect,
Let's not forget the sex,
My heart you can collect (now now)
Yeah my heart you can collect (now now)
My heart you can collect (yeah yeah)
Have just one more cap babe babe babe
Have just one more stem babe.
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Pop it, ready, go, let it, take take take take over,
Get ready, pop it, let's go, get ready, le-le-let take it over,
Get ready, pop it, let's go, take it, just let it, take take you over,
Get ready, let's go, let's go, hey
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Soon after falling into a deep but psychedelic state
To escape the prison of our reality
A hero becomes trapped in his own peaceful place
Which immediately becomes his sanctuary,
A place filled with his wildest dreams,
This is his new home.
And all but I want you to try this with me,
Let's go, don't worry
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me
Enter galactic you and me
Get ready, pop it, let's go
Enter galactic you and me

Shrooms? I think he brought a girl to a rave and they're poppin E
"Have just one more cap, babe. Have just one more stem, babe" E doesnt have any caps or stems its just a pill. Shrooms on the other hand do. And this song is totally about tripping and you dont trip on E.
This is about shrooms for sure, but MDMA (Pure ecstasy) comes in caps. And you can totally trip on e.
