[Verse 1]
Tyres slick with blood, skidding on the tar
City lights flashin’, but am runnin’ fae the stars
Sirens howl like banshees, crows circlin’ me
Blood on ma wheel, fresh from a new spree.


[Pre-Chorus]
Flick the switch—nae plates, nae trace
Gutted the motor, left not a face
Shadow in the alleys, ghost in the mist
Johnny Jacker’s running, an he’s takin’ the piss

[Chorus]
BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

Blue in the rearview, chasin’ me doon
Rubber’s burnin’, but I’ll ne’er slow doon

BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

Throttle tae the floor, death at ma six,
One mair mile an they’ll ne’er find shit, (WON'T FIND SHIT)

BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

[Verse 2]
Blasting the backroads, cut from the chase,
Hunners o’ polis, but they’ve nae got ma face.
Lit the dash, threw a match, let the embers spark
Laughin’ at the bastards as I tear through the dark (dark, dark, dark)

“Ye’ll never take Jacker alive” (never alive)

[Bridge]
Ghostin’ past Burnley, ootskirts o’ hell
Last gasp at daylight, last toll o’ the bell
Blackout roads, nae chopper in sight
Jacker disappears into the cauld black night

[Chorus]
BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

Blue in the rearview, chasin’ me doon
Rubber’s burnin’, but I’ll ne’er slow doon

BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

Throttle tae the floor, death at ma six,
One mair mile an they’ll ne’er find shit, (WON'T FIND SHIT)

BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)


[Verse 3]
Won't be long now til am back in the land,
The land where I rip and make my stand.
Can't say why, never had a wonder,
When I go ripping is when I feel the thunder (THE THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER).

[Chorus]
BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

Blue in the rearview, chasin’ me doon
Rubber’s burnin’, but I’ll ne’er slow doon

BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

Throttle tae the floor, death at ma six,
One mair mile an they’ll ne’er find shit, (WON'T FIND SHIT)

BLUE
IN THE
REARVIEW (rearview)

[Outro]
Tail lights vanish in the midnight air
Johnny Jacker’s gone—none know where... (behind you... behind you... behind you...)
