High Speed Dirt

Recommended Posts

Anyone ever hear the Megadeth song that they did as a tribute to skydiving? It was called High Speed Dirt.

Lyrics...

Dave Mustaine/David Ellefson

Do it if you dare
Leaping from the sky
Hurling thru the air
Exhilarating high
See the earth below
Soon to make a crater
Blue sky, black death
I'm off to meet my maker

Chorus
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge
Won't stop til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure
Up here in the air, this will never hurt
I'm on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt

Paralyzed with fear
Feel velocity gain
Entering a near
Catatonic state
Pressure of the sound
Roaring thru my head
Crash into the ground
Damned if I'll be dead

Chorus

Jump or die!

Solo - Dave
Solo - Marty

Dropping all my weight
Going down full throttle
The pale horse awaits
Like a genie in a bottle
Fire in my veins
Faster as I go
I forgot my name
I'm a dirt torpedo

Solo - Marty

High speed dirt...

Solo - Dave

Dude, that song is like WAY old;) A couple years back there was a guy claiming to be one of the guitarists from Megadeth hanging around Perris. I think I read somewhere(maybe here) that Dave " I have anger management issues" Mustaine had made some skydives back in the day.

And of course, we even have a BASE jumping song of sorts from the Offspring...

"Look at me I'm falling off a cliff now...
I can still hear my mommy yelling 'No no no'"

:S;)

Alan Parsons has "fall free", "one day to fly" and "icarus" all of which are about flying/skydiving:

Fall free
Freedom's in the air
It's calling you
Your heart is there
---------
The man must be insane, who knows
A mind alive with images so strange
So close but never rode the sky

Watching the birds as they sail on the wing
Trying to figure out the reason why
Picturing wings held together with string
One day to fly
----------

God forgive his fall from grace
the sea conceals his resting place
Can we learn to stay behind the line?
If we have the will to fly
Some of us will surely die
Being reckless was his only crime

But when the wind gets under these wings
we will feel what freedom brings
Stay right by me walk don't run
I don't want you flying too close to the sun

No, that was 2 other guys who were mooning over YOUR head while you made noise with your guitar:D
