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
