How come you go so fast
The weight of your steel
Your great numbers of wheels
Tell me to say

If I was to know you through an exhaust pipe
Diesel funnel ventilation duct
Would I gain by magic
Some of the power of such a beautiful trailer

How come you go so fast
The weight of your steel
Your great numbers of wheels
Tell me to say

Could food arrange itself in my humble stomach
With the neat intelligence
Of the groceries and frozen goods in your container

All lessor forms of road transport
Cars, vans, bicycles, utilities, all of these
Are just a nuisance
