The Distance

Lyrics

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup

I believe, not 100% sure, that this song is about masturbation . Not cheating.
I love how good everything in this song sounds, I wish id hear more things about this band.
Do you realize the man 'practicing' is a metaphor. He's cheating on the girl.

My mommy live this song
Their best song
kick a** bassline
Definitely something to listen too while go carting! Melodica solos the best
It is so sad but true Justin B, sad but true. I never thought I would say this but damn I miss the 90's! Songs like this, bands like Sound Garden, Alice in Chains, Faith no More! All got regular air play! Now I endure Taylor Swift! *shudders*
When I was a teenager I use to turn the base all the way up on my radio to the point my floor jumped with the baseline while I danced around like a lunatic failing to rap along to the lyrics miserably! Memories!! :D

Best line ever: "Bowel-shaki n g earthquakes of doubt and remorse, assail him, impale him with monster-truc k force" bet you sang that

#coowanius Maximus thellonus Xaviar Ben the great destroyer: oh my gosh I see it now!

I love Cake 85% of their songs are amazazing!
Reminds me of Cyanide and Happiness! xD
I seem to run faster when I sing this in my head.
The updated version of Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light :)
Gatorade commercial anyone?
