Zipper - Scratching Post

Started at the line

Shiver creeping down my spine

I felt it in my blood

Felt it like a racer should

It wasn’t just a race

A challenge that I had to face

I felt it in my blood

Felt it like a racer should

You might have won

You jumped the gun

And then you made it straight on

Through the finish line

OH

Knelt down at the line

Thought I get ahead this time

whoever’s fastest wins

Whoever fastest gets him

Look to my right side

thought I’d seen you fall behind

But way up I could see

You burning dust ahead of me

I crawl across the line

How could I have lost this time

I felt it in my blood

Felt it like a racer should

I saw it in your eyes

You can’t have learned your lies this time

I felt it in my blood

Felt it like a racer should
