  4. In the car is a boxer (engine)
    And a fighter by his trade
    And he carries the reminders
    Of every knock that laid him down
    Or ping him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
    "I am stalling, I am stalling", but the engine barely maintains

  5. They call me Baby Driver
    And once upon a set of wheels
    I hit the road and it's gone dead
    What's the tow truck's number?
