We Bumped Away All Night Poem by Mark Heathcote

Like two bumper cars locked together
We did a circuit on fire
Beneath the mercury white hot moonlight
We bumped away all night
Singing, free your mind
We bumped away all night
Without ever moving a single mile
We did a circuit on fire
Without ever doing a single air mile
But we could fly, high
Beneath the mercury white hot moonlight
Oh, oh ooh what a night
We bumped away all night
Oh, oh ooh what a night
Singing, free your mind
This is our time
We ran our batteries low
Sink your rubber tyres into this soil
Sink your rubber tyres into my soul
I had to close my eyes and cry
As the stars flew by
Oh, oh ooh what a night
We bumped away all night
Like two bumper cars locked together
We did a circuit on fire
Beneath the mercury white hot moonlight
You pressed your peddles hard and the world
The world speed and jack-knifed by
And then you were gone
Leaving me left only to cry
Oh, oh ooh what a night.
