Lyrics
I pulled into the forecourt
She stood around pumping gas,
She said “Hi Honey, how’s your motor running?”
She was sure worth a second glance.
I’d just slid off the I-55
Runnin’ hotter than a hellhound’s tail.
I was flaked out,shaking, with an ego breakdown,
Nine years on time, no fail.
But she was something special
I said, go down, Baby, go down.
I left half my life on the time clock Baby.
Go down, down, down.
Hotwire my heart!
Hotwire my heart!
I need your greasy spark
Dancing in the dark. (repeat)
I’m tired of that nine to five dragline.
I’m an over-revved underloved man.
I’ve got the no-claims superannuation blues,
I need a tiger in my tank.
The sun keeps giving me headaches,
I can’t make it stay in bed.
And the wind on the windshield blows my mind,
Like the twister inside my head.
But she was something special
I said go down, Baby, go down.
I got half my life down the highway Baby,
Go down, down, down.
Hotwire my heart!
Hotwire my heart!
I need your greasy spark
Dancing in the dark. (repeat)
Bridge
She slicked the bleach in her ringlets
Rainbow streaked with oil.
She swished them hip huggin’ dungarees
And I felt the motor boil.
She said “Your battery’s losing juice”
I said “It needs a jump from you.
My libido’s getting weary.
The Mustang’s thrown a shoe.”
But you are something special
I said go down, Baby, go down.
My dipstick needs a quick dip Baby,
Go down, down, down.
Hotwire my heart!
Hotwire my heart!
I need your greasy spark
Dancing in the dark. (repeat)
Just five more miles from route 65
Ten more, and I’d have been home.
I felt the dragline break, I saw a quick escape.
There was no time to find a phone.
You know, she was something special
Her lips made my gearbox churn,
We flew up the superchrome sunset,
I could smell the rubber burn.
For she was something special,
I said go down, Baby, go down.
Half my life has vanished Baby,
Go down, down, down.
Hotwire my heart!
Hotwire my heart!
I need your greasy spark
Dancing in the dark. (repeat)
