Are You Dreaming of Winning a Race?

Are You Dreaming of Winning a Race?
(After "Scarborough Fair" by Simon and Garfunkle)

Are you dreaming of winning a race,
Harley, Sym, Suzuki, Triumph!
Find sweet success when you win the great chase.
You once flew like the wind soaring up.

Tell them, your fans say they love your new flare.  
        (On the path at the dunes near the soft sandy sea.)  
Harley, Sym, Suzuki, Triumph!
        (Chasing the vision on dirt-laden ground.) 
Relax breath deep; do not fear the jumps.  
        (Dashing to power the king of the fast lanes.)  
You will fly like the wind soaring up.
        (Tracks at your back; you race faster than all.)   
    
Tell them to find you a sponsor with funds.  
        (On the road to the dunes, fans watch near sandy seas.) 
Harley, Sym, Suzuki, Triumph?
        (Cohorts, once bound are partners for years.) 
Because they believe in your great success –
        (A backer shouts and relishes the fun.) 
You will fly like the wind soaring up.

Tell them to market motorcycles t-shirts.
        (Fans mellow, cheering with nervous reflections.)  
Harley, Sym, Suzuki, Triumph!
        (Managers coaching their drivers use skill.)  
And whenever you keep success in your mind,
        (For the sake of a dream that was never forgotten.) 
You will fly like the wind soaring up.

Are you dreaming of winning a race?
Harley, Sym, Suzuki, Triumph!
Find sweet success when you win the great chase.
You once flew like the wind soaring up.
