DEAD BOYS
- High Tension Wire Lyrics / with translationsLiving to fast I've got my head in full throttle
I saw a screaming skull in the bottom of a bottle
Can't stand up, honey, got my tongue on the floor
Living out a dream 'bout the third world war
Time warp, baby, that's where I live
Time warp, honey, something's gotta give
Feeling tonight like my brain is on fire
Don't touch me tonight I'm a high tension wire
The girls I see they don't do nothing for me
I'm stuck here all done got nowhere to be
You're looking at me like I'm under the weather
But you'd crawl on your knees just to lick on my leather
I saw a screaming skull in the bottom of a bottle
Can't stand up, honey, got my tongue on the floor
Living out a dream 'bout the third world war
Time warp, baby, that's where I live
Time warp, honey, something's gotta give
Feeling tonight like my brain is on fire
The girls I see they don't do nothing for me
I'm stuck here all done got nowhere to be
You're looking at me like I'm under the weather
But you'd crawl on your knees just to lick on my leather
