Formula 666
Sarah and the Safe Word Lyrics

On a summer night you can hear the squeal
On a calm summer evening, the noise of tires screeching and engines revving can be heard.

Back from the dead
After experiencing death, she has returned to life and is back in action.

Bringing Hell on wheels
She is causing chaos and destruction, using fast and powerful vehicles to do so.

She's a highway high time warrior queen
She is a fearless and fierce leader who dominates the motorway and takes charge of her own destiny.

She's got a four wheel drive if you know what I mean
She has a high-performance car, and if you understand her innuendo, you will appreciate her sexual prowess.

Got the money in the backseat and she's comin' for me
She has cash stashed in her car, and she is heading towards the singer's location with suspicion and danger.

(Don't let me down!)
The singer is requesting assistance and begging not to be betrayed.

Everybody's ready to drive
Everyone is prepared to race their cars.

(Everybody get-get ready to drive)
The artist is hyping up the crowd, telling them to get in the right mindset for racing.

Everybody's ready to die
Everyone understands that this is a dangerous and potentially lethal activity.

(Ready to die)
The singer is acknowledging the danger and risks before they engage in this deadly activity.

She didn't see it coming from the top of the bridge
Without warning or expectation, she suffered an accident from the top of a bridge.

She made a deal with a demon so her lover could live
She sold her soul to a demon to save her partner's life.

When the moon is high
When the moon is full and bright in the sky.

And the Devil is driving stick
The Devil is driving a car with manual transmission.

It's the Formula 666
It's the car race from Hell known as Formula 666.

She don't need no gasoline no brakes
She can race without using gasoline or brakes.

(She don't need to gasoline no brakes)
The singer is reinforcing that she doesn't require gasoline or brakes to race.

Wait wait wait wait for your next mistake
The singer warns someone to pause and wait for their error, as that's when she'll strike.

(Wait wait for your next mistake)
The artist reiterates her warning to wait for the next opportunity to take action.

She's a spirit of hell and she's here for your soul
She is a demonic entity who has come for someone's soul and is hellbound.

Four cyl, fired up (Fired up!)
Her four-cylinder car engine is active and ready to go.

And she's ready to go
She is eager and willing to proceed with her racing or nefarious activities.

Drive
The artist is encouraging the listener to drive or to get out of the way.

"I don't want to leave you, baby, but I have to." "Oh no! Why!?" "I gotta race, 'cause I gotta need." "For speed?" "Nah, girl. For Satan."
A conversation between characters, where one explains that he must leave for a race contest as he has an eagerness for Satan rather than speed.

Speed! Dreams! Gasoline!
A chant of words that the singer and these characters get excited about before and after the race.

(Formula! Formula 666!)
A call to identify the particular activity or race: Formula 666.
