"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.
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tus ojos
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tu ombligo
Yo no te obligo, nena, déjame entrar
Déjame entrar en toditos tus rincones
Déjame entrar en toditas tus pasiones
Déjame entrar a tu alma, déjame entrar
Quiero vivir en tus muslos, ser tu dueño
Quiero vivir en la casa de tus sueños
Yo quiero todo contigo, déjame entrar
Dicen que soy un hippie indecente
No me importa lo que diga la gente
Sólo me importas tú, déjame entrar
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tus ojos
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu ombligo
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu oído
Deja clavarme ya y déjame entrar
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tus ojos
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tu ombligo
Yo no te obligo, nena, déjame entrar
Quiero vivir en tus muslos, ser tu dueño
Quiero vivir en la casa de tus sueños
Yo quiero todo contigo, déjame entrar
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tus ojos
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu ombligo
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu oído
Deja clavarme ya y déjame entrar
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tu ombligo
Yo no te obligo, nena, déjame entrar
Déjame entrar en toditos tus rincones
Déjame entrar en toditas tus pasiones
Déjame entrar a tu alma, déjame entrar
Quiero vivir en tus muslos, ser tu dueño
Quiero vivir en la casa de tus sueños
Yo quiero todo contigo, déjame entrar
Dicen que soy un hippie indecente
No me importa lo que diga la gente
Sólo me importas tú, déjame entrar
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tus ojos
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu ombligo
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu oído
Deja clavarme ya y déjame entrar
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tus ojos
Déjame entrar en la alberca de tu ombligo
Yo no te obligo, nena, déjame entrar
Quiero vivir en tus muslos, ser tu dueño
Quiero vivir en la casa de tus sueños
Yo quiero todo contigo, déjame entrar
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tus ojos
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu ombligo
Deja clavarme ya en la alberca de tu oído
Deja clavarme ya y déjame entrar
