Lyrics

[Intro]

Gimme fuel, gimme fire

Gimme that which I desire

[Verse 1]

Turn on, I see red

Adrenaline crash and crack my head

Nitro junkie, paint me dead

And I see red

[Verse 2]

One hundred plus through black and white

War horse, warhead

Fuck 'em, man, white-knuckle tight

Through black and white

[PreChorus]

Ooh, on I burn

Fuel is pumping engines

Burning hard, loose and clean

And on I burn

Churning my direction

Quench my thirst with gasoline

[Chorus]

So gimme fuel, gimme fire

Gimme that which I desire

[Verse 3]

Turn on beyond the bone

Swallow future, spit out home

Burn your face upon the chrome

[Verse 4]

Take the corner, join the crash

Headlights, head on, headlines

Another junkie lives too fast

Lives way too fast

[PreChorus]

Ooh, on I burn

Fuel is pumping engines

Burning hard, loose and clean

And on I burn

Churning my direction

Quench my thirst with gasoline

[Chorus]

So gimme fuel, gimme fire

Gimme that which I desire

[Bridge]

White-knuckle tight

[Bridge]

Gimme fuel

Gimme fire

My desire

[PreChorus]

Ooh, on I burn

Fuel is pumping engines

Burning hard, loose and clean

And on I burn

Churning my direction

Quench my thirst with gasoline

[Chorus]

Gimme fuel, gimme fire

Gimme that which I desire

[Outro]

On I burn
