Petroleum

Imagine if I had to give you my soul

In a moment when my soul was asleep

For it happens sometimes through no fault of our own

It's just a momentary blip in the passing of time

It's not a sign that the embers of passion are dying

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling 'em

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom, boom, ba-ba-da-boom

I'm grateful in ways I could never explain

In a moment I cannot escape

But I can't phone it in (No, he can't phone it in)

No, I could never begin (He could never begin)

Oh, I could never tell you how I'm feeling if I'm not feeling it

It's a standard that I set myself to ruin relationships

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling 'em

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom, boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

And if I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it, I would

Oh yeah

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

(It never stops)

(Perhaps Daddy has something to do with that)

(Wah-oh!!!)

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling 'em

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom, boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling 'em

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom, boom, ba-da-da-boom

My bones burn

And if I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it, I would

That's how it goes

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now

Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
