The band is 'me' and friends who have so generously contributed to this effort.
Story behind the song
Song from the 'Travels Of Quazear' concept CD
The space travelar (Quaz) is young and has parsecs to traverse....so, you have to be fast.
Some creative license with the length of the tune and lead guitar outtro.
I really love Mike Fergesons energetic guitar work so I used as much as liked.
Lyrics
Fast As Fire
Verse 1
You cant catch me, cause Im as fast as fire.
A flash of speed, and livin on the wire.
Chorus 1
I dont have time to take you for a ride.
Someone might be watching me.
If I slow down I might lose time.
A step ahead is where Ill be.
Verse 2
Ive got fast lane dreams, like the social climber.
I take time to breathe, so I will never tire.
Chorus 2
If I look back I might get off track,
someone might catch up to me.
Cant take five Im in overdrive,
wheels of fire is my specialty.
Instrumental (verse and chorus music)

The speed of light, cant hold on to me.
Jets in flight, just a burnin fury.
