Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh

Yea
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash, crash my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

Hundred puffs through black and white
Four horse
Forehead
Fuck 'em, man
White knuckles tight
Through black and white

On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean

And on I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

Hey

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out hope
Burn your face upon the chrome

Yeah, oh yeah

Take the corner, going to crash
Yeah
Headlights
Headlines
Another junkie, who lived too fast

Yeah
Lives way too fast, fast, fast, fast, fast
Oh

On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean

And on I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh yeah

Oh
Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
My desire

On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean

And on I burn,
Turning my direction,
Quench my thirst with gasoline

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh

On I burn
