    Iron Maiden - The Lonliness Of The Long Distance Runner
    The tough of the track
    With the wind
    And the rain thats beating down on your back
    Your hearts beating loud
    And goes on getting louder
    And goes on even more til the
    Sound is ringing in your head
    With ebery step you tread
    And every breath you take
    Determination
    Makes you run never stop
    Got to win got to run til you drop
    Keep the pace hold the race
    Your mind is getting clearer
    Youre over half way there
    But the miles they never seem to end
    As if youre in a dream
    Not getting anywhere
    It seems so futile

    Run on and on
    Run on and on
    The lonliness of the long distance runner

    Ive got to keep running the course
    Ive got to keep running and win at all costs
    Ive got to keep going be strong
    Must be so determined and push myself on

    Run over stiles across fields
    Turn to look at whos on your heels
    Way ahead of the field
    The line is getting nearer but do
    You want the glory that goes
    You reach the final stretch
    Ideals sre just a trace
    You feel like throwing the race
    Its all so futile


    [b[Cake - The Distance[/b]
    Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
    Engines pumping and thumping in time
    The green light flashes, the flags go up
    Churning and burning they yearn for the cup

    They deftly manuver and muscle for rank
    Fuels burning fast on an empty tank
    Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
    Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

    As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
    The fans get up and they get out of town
    The arena is empty except for one man
    Still driving and striving as fast as he can

    The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
    Not long ago somebody left with the cup
    But he's driving and striving an hugging the turns
    And thinking of someone for who he still burns

    He's going the distance
    He's going for speed
    She's all alone, all alone, all alone in a time of need

    Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    He's going the distance

    No trophies, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no lime
    He's haunted by something he cannot define
    Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
    Assail him and bail him with monster truck force

    In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade
    She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
    'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

    The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
    Not long ago somebody left with the cup
    But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
    And thinking of someone for who he still burns

    'Cause he's going the distance,
    He's going for speed
    She's all alone
    All alone
    All alone
    In a time of need

    Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and ridding on his horse
    He's going the distance
    He's going for speed
    He's going the distance
