Street Lethal Lyrics
Movin' down the back streets
Pass the speed of light
Sparks burn inside me
Gas and air adjusted right
Layin' down some rubber
Needle's in the red
I'm blowin' away
On the edge
Never ceasing, never ending
My machine's what I live for
Don't ever try to pass me
Cause I'll even up the score
Cool, and lean and righteous
Slipping through the air
I play for keeps
But won't play fair
And I'm street, street lethal
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me ride
Movin' down the pavement
Don't get in my hair
Exploding in your faces
Like a match to liquid air
Bolting down the back straights
Spilling round the curves
I'll give you all
Your just desserts
One explosion then another
Feeling it excel
Put the road behind me
Keep my feet out of hell
Pulling up into the heavens
Blowing past a shooting star
First I'm near
Then I'm far
And I'm street, street lethal
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me ride
On this four wheel heart attack
Customized to cut no slack
And I'm street, street lethal
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me ride
Street, street lethal
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me
Ride
Pass the speed of light
Sparks burn inside me
Gas and air adjusted right
Layin' down some rubber
Needle's in the red
On the edge
My machine's what I live for
Don't ever try to pass me
Cause I'll even up the score
Cool, and lean and righteous
Slipping through the air
But won't play fair
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me ride
Don't get in my hair
Exploding in your faces
Like a match to liquid air
Bolting down the back straights
Spilling round the curves
Your just desserts
Feeling it excel
Put the road behind me
Keep my feet out of hell
Pulling up into the heavens
Blowing past a shooting star
Then I'm far
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me ride
Customized to cut no slack
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me ride
Poundin' down the back roads
Higher than a steeple
Street, street lethal
Come and watch me
Ride

Call me crazy, but I honestly believe Paul Gilbert is one of the most skilled rock guitarists in the history of music. He was in his teens when he shredded those solos on the album "Street Lethal". I fell in love with him as well as the band almost immediately.
