1,320' Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grinding my teeth
White knuckles grasp at the wheel
I rush from an avalanche of adrenaline
It's all that I feel
As quick as a bolt of lightning
A rocket ride in a bucket seat
It doesn't get any better than this
It just feeds my need for speed
[Chorus]
Supercharged, strapped in and screaming
Fire spitting from the pipes
A burnout by the flame throwing fury
8,000 horses ignite
Full throttle, hit the ground running
With a tank full of nitro
And its 1,320' to go to the finish line
[Verse 2]
My hands hold tight
A firebreathing stampede
I fall into a trance
Hold my breath till the light turns green
In a cloud of nitro methane
Melting rubber, I say my prayers
Man and machine accelerate
And I vanish in thin air
[Chorus]
Supercharged, strapped in and screaming
Fire spitting from the pipes
A burnout by the flame throwing fury
8,000 horses ignite
Full throttle, hit the ground running
With a tank full of nitro
And its 1,320' to go to the finish line
[Instrumental Outro]

What have Dave Mustaine said about this song?
Dave Mustaine:
We were struggling trying to find the sample for the drag racing, because I told Andy [Sneap] “Nitro Funny Cars.” So he got a Top Fuel Funny Car [makes sound of a weak car], and I went, “That ain’t a Nitro Funny Car, bro! When you hear a Nitro Funny Car, the world stops around you.”...
