Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Killer cars, cars)
(Killer cars)
[Verse 2]
Too hard on the brakes again, what if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get out of the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?
[Verse 3]
I'm going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel
[Verse 4]
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They can't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive
[Verse 5]
Don't die on the motorway
The moon would freeze, the plants would die
I couldn't cope if you crashed today, all the things I forgot to say
[Verse 6]
I'm going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
What if the car loses control?
What if there's someone overtaking?
[Verse 7]
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive
[Verse 8]
Killer cars
[Verse 9]
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
No, they won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive
[Verse 10]
Killer cars, they all drive
Killer cars, they all drive
Killer cars
[Verse 11]
Oh, killer cars
Oh, killer, killer
Killer cars, cars
Killer cars, killer cars
Killer cars, killer cars
Killer cars
