Got that crankshaft sticking Straight into your center line When the piston goes down Your blood is sure to poison your mind Got a broke down engine But you're not losing any speed Going downhill so fast You're sure to burn, sure to burn Sure to burn and bleed Fully cranked, weeks at a time Believing you're some kind of machine She gave you water When you asked for gasoline Got a broke down engine But you're not losing any speed Going downhill so fast You're sure to burn, sure to burn Sure to burn and bleed Got a mess of problems You insist on telling everyone Too bad, too bad, too bad Your motor mouth still runs and runs Got a broke down engine You're not losing any speed Going downhill so fast You're sure to burn, sure to burn Sure to burn and bleed
