"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.
Guns and ammo lie in front of you
The clips are all loaded, now what shall you do?
This is how it starts when the end glows wildly in the dark
This is how it starts when the last breath ends the last spark
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
The Desert Eagle spreads its wings for you
Kiss the cold steel then let the bullets come through
This is the ultimate end, I'll make it sure that you will see
As I shall kiss the cold steel and see how dark this day really can be
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
Bite the blank steel now let the bullets come through
The silver eagle says it's time to
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Come on and do it now
The last ammunition
I'm going to show you how!
This is how it must end, So bright shines the pistol
This is how I'll feel when the last clip is falling
And the barrels are glowing tonight
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
And fall to the ground!
The clips are all loaded, now what shall you do?
This is how it starts when the end glows wildly in the dark
This is how it starts when the last breath ends the last spark
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
The Desert Eagle spreads its wings for you
Kiss the cold steel then let the bullets come through
This is the ultimate end, I'll make it sure that you will see
As I shall kiss the cold steel and see how dark this day really can be
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter,
Nine, nine, nine!
Millimeter!!
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
Bite the blank steel now let the bullets come through
The silver eagle says it's time to
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Come on and do it now
The last ammunition
I'm going to show you how!
This is how it must end, So bright shines the pistol
This is how I'll feel when the last clip is falling
And the barrels are glowing tonight
Shoot!
The last ammunition
Let the clips fall down
The last ammunition
And fall to the ground
And fall to the ground!

so when you say nine,nine,nine,it could mean authority? As in,999. Millimeter just means the size of the bullet. I think,but there should be more to it.
Maybe its just how you go against authorities to get what you want. Maybe for this case,to kill somebody? I'm not very good at interpreting,but this is my first impression of the song.
