Welcome to the Motor Planet

Yet another rewrite. I wrote "Motorplanet" more than ten years ago, if I remember correctly, when Holger and I began our collaboration. My own version was - due to my limited musical skills - say, rather unconvincing. Holger wrote music, and I adapted the text - that's the published version. It has never been performed, as far as I know. Now Holger has rewritten - or re-recorded - his music, and I rewrote the lyrics yet again. The title now is "Welcome to the Motor Planet", note the very last line ;-)

every biker knows the place
where go-getters are having their race
no speed limit, and no rules
only toughies, daring and cool

you can get there but you should not plan it
you are welcome to the motor planet
you are welcome to the motor planet

gun the engines, burn the air
break all limits without care
no-one there to draw the line
only heroes, willing to shine

you can get there but you should not plan it
you are welcome to the motor planet
you are welcome to the motor planet

[instr.]

ride on, ride on
ride on, ride on

me and my gang are filling the air
with engines' roar and gasoline smell
is it the road to heaven
or the highway to hell
we really do not care
we don't care

ride on, ride on
ride on, ride on

every biker knows the place
where go-getters are having their race
no speed limit, and no rules
only toughies, daring and cool

you will get there but you should not plan it
you are welcome to the motor planet
you are welcome to the motor planet

you're always welcome to the motor planet

come on, come on
ride on, ride on

welcome to MotorPlanet
