Beginning with strong pure vocals to grasp the listeners’ attention, “Fuel” is an energetic and quick-paced track inspired by the adrenaline rush one can receive from speeding through traffic and night-time… Read More [Chorus]
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire, ooh
[Verse 1]
Yeah
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
A hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead
Fuck ’em man, white-knuckle tight
Through black and white
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah, oh, yeah
Take the corner, join the crash-ah
Headlights (Head on), headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah, lives way too fast (Fast)
Fast (Fast), fast (Fast), oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Ooh, yeah-hey
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
White knuckle tight
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
(On and on and on and on)
Give me fuel (On and on and on and on)
Give me fire (On and on and on and on)
My desire (On and on and on and on)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, on I burn (On and on and on and on)
Fuel is pumping engines (On and on and on and on), burning hard, loose and clean
(On and on and on and on) And on and on
Churning my direction (On and on and on and on), quench my thirst with gasoline
[Chorus]
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire, ooh
[Outro]
On I burn
