lyrics

Music: Palma/Carlos/Hernandez/Gutierrez | Lyrics: Palma/Ortiz

New racing prodigy he's young and hungry for the gold
A quick blur of red and white, he's never looking back, he's found his one
true goal
His nearly flawless run unmatched by all competitors
The highest stake; A grave mistake took away his future

Jumped the gun behind the wheel Ambition high and temper flared
Dreams gone up in smoke and flames
He's forced to say goodbye.
Gone astray, forsaken name, he left his family
A falling star, a shooting star

(Chorus)
Feared, revered, soldier of fortune
Eldest son, a fighter for justice
Behind the mask, a sympathetic brother
He returns
Driving No. 9/He is No. 9

Watching over family he plays the role of sovereign
Just in the nick of time his presence brings protection
Recognized by those that he once left, unmasked now
Second place, he's done his final lap

(Chorus)

Greater enemies need more than just a racer
A higher calling waits for him; an agent in the shadows
No name, no face, no country where he can lay his loyalty
A quick blur of yellow and black

(Chorus)

GosT was one of the first synth artists I discovered after Look Mum No Computer and Mega Drive and this album remains an all-time favourite. I've been listening to it for years thanks to the free download policy and it's about time I gave a little back. agentorangejuice
