English[edit]
Everything is ready, put the pedal down
Motor... city... here we come!
I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
Motor... city... here we come!
The road is empty, every light is green
Motor... city... here we come!
Nobody can stop this awesome machine
Motor... city... here we come! (Yeah!)
Rev it up!
Just a little bit faster
Rev it up!
Just a little bit faster
Go, go, going
To Motor city! (Yeah!)
Motor... city... here we come (Motor city!)
Motor... city... here we come (Motor city!)
Rev it up!
