This song pays tribute to human progress in the field of transport in a perhaps ironically zealous fashion, with a chorus that echoes cult-like chanting and “hail"ing the motor and the wheel.
Roads Girdle the Globe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Am I asleep or am I fast?
Your every race
You're first, you're last
[Chorus]
Roads girdle the globe
We're safe in your concrete robe
Hail mother motor!
Hail piston rotor!
Hail wheel!
Roads girdle the globe
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
[Verse 2]
Am I tied in or do I turn?
Your holy incense
Your tire burn
[Chorus]
Roads girdle the globe
We're safe in your concrete robe
Hail mother motor!
Hail piston rotor!
Hail wheel!
Roads girdle the globe
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
[Bridge]
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna
Steer me, Anna!
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
Oh, oh oh, oh oh!
[Verse 3]
Am I get there?
When is A, B?
Your iron, oil and steel
Your sacred three
[Outro]
Roads girdle the globe
We're safe in your concrete robe
Roads girdle the globe
We're safe in your concrete robe
Roads girdle the globe
We're safe in your concrete robe
Roads girdle the globe
We're safe in your concrete robe
Hail mother motor!
Hail piston rotor!
Hail wheel!
Hail mother motor!
Hail piston rotor!
Hail wheel!
Hail mother motor!
Hail piston rotor!
Hail wheel!
