Kowlaski
Primal Scream · Vanishing Point [1997]
This radiostation was named Kowalski
in honour of the last american hero
to whom speed means freedom of soul
but who is gonna stop him...
There goes the Challenger
Being chased by the blue blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars
Are after our lone driver
The last American hero
The electric centaur, the demi god
The super driver of the golden west
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind
The beautiful lone driver
The police number are getting closer, closer
Closer to our soul hero, in his soul mobile
Yeah baby, they're about to strike
They're gonna get him, smash him
Rape the last beautiful free soul on this planet
Like Kowalski in Vanishing point
Kowalski in Vanishing point
Kowalski in Vanishing point
Vanishing point Vanishing point
Vanishing point Vanishing point
Like a butterfly on a pin
Like a butterfly on a pin
Soul on ice, Soul on ice, Soul on ice, Soul on ice
Vanishing Point (4x)
Soul on ice (7x)
(film dialogue: DJ Super Soul)
Hello kowalski
Hello Kowalski
Hello Kowalski
Cut it off
