He reads the rain like Braille on glass
The meter ticks a steady pass
Sodium ghosts paint dashed lines gold
Stories of the night retold
His hands hold ten and two like prayer
No traffic light can catch him there
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
He chases dawn through boulevard turns
Where rubber meets and midnight burns
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
Ers light flashes on the dash
He saves the boost for morning crash
Clean air ahead no dirty wake
Every corner for the take
Tire temp climbing through the zones
He drives the line that no one owns
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
He chases dawn through boulevard turns
Where rubber meets and midnight burns
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
Pit stop coffee cold and black
No radio just engine track
Fuel load light for qualifying run
Before the rising of the sun
He clips the apex every time
A silent rhythm perfect rhyme
The city wakes but he stays deep
In flowing state where seconds sleep
No checkered flag no podium spray
Just fares delivered through the gray
One final sector left to clear
Then park the beast and shift to steer
Morning light hits wet windscreen
The fastest lap he's ever seen
No telemetry no team radio
Just tires singing soft and low
He logs the time in mental book
Then pulls the key and ends the look
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
He chases dawn through boulevard turns
Where rubber meets and midnight burns
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
Next fare waits at hotel door
He knows the lines will sing once more
Tonight again the circuit calls
Through rain-slick canyon city walls
Old hands adjust the mirror glass
Another night another pass
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
He chases dawn through boulevard turns
Where rubber meets and midnight burns
Night circuit hums beneath the wheels
Damp asphalt sings what speed reveals
The checkered flag is morning light
He parks the dream and ends the night
Tires hum on damp night asphalt
Tires hum on damp night asphalt
