Lyrics
I, I just took a ride
in a silver machine
and I'm still feeling mean
Do you want to ride
see yourself going by
The other side of the sky
I got a silver machine
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your Zodiac sign
I got silver machine (3x)
8mile silver machine
It flies out of a dream
It's anti-septically clean
You're gonna know where I've been
In my silver machine
