1 | Thunder Kiss ’65 | 03:59 |
Well, sweet little sista’s high in hell cheat’n on a halo
Grind in a odyssey holocaust heart kick on tomorrow Breakdown—agony said “ecstacy” in overdrive She come a riding on the world, thunder kiss’n 1965 Demon-warp is coming alive in 1965Livin’ fast and dying young like a endless poetry My motor-psycho nightmare freak out inside of me My soul salvation liberation on the drive The power of the blaster move me faster 1965(“You’re all shook up, aren’t you baby?”) (“I never try anything. I just do it.”) (“Wanna try me?”)Roll’n like a supersonic, another fool that get down on it Pig sweat a million miles, I got a heart atomic style I make it look easy, that’s what I said Blast of silence explodes in my headStep to the moonshine frenzy hail: the resurrection What’s new, pussycat? Can you dig the satisfaction? Well you can’t take it with you but you can! In overdrive Some like it hot and twist’n 1965 |
