"High Speed Dirt" is a track of the album Countdown to Extinction. The theme of its lyrics is unusual for Megadeth as this song is about a sky person impacting the earth at full speed to taste the dirt.
Lyrics
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
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
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
Jump or die!
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
High speed dirt
Shit!
