Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Give me the wheel

So we can move a little faster

I'll make it real

I'm not a glorious disaster

What part of living says you gotta die?

I plan on burnin' through another nine lives

One more for measure,

that's ten for the soul

They never sleep,

so are you ready to go?

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky

Tick-tock I think the well is running dry

My, my, I can't lie

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

Dead scared, 'cause I'm fearless in the head

Bang, bang, 'cause the needle's in the red

My, my, I can't lie

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

My, my, my sweet adrenaline

Crack in the vision

Who said the motivation's all wrong?

Not your decision,

the detonation of a time bomb

Which way is up when your high is low?

It's time to find it, are you ready to go?

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky

Tick-tock I think the well is running dry

My, my, I can't lie

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

Dead scared, 'cause I'm fearless in the head

Bang, bang, 'cause the needle's in the red

My, my, I can't lie

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

My, my, my sweet adrenaline

My, my, I just can't lie

It's the speed and the sound

that I'm dying to try

My, my, I just can't lie

It's the love of the chase

that created the ride

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky

Tick-tock I think the well is running dry

My, my, (my, my) I can't lie (can't lie)

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

Dead scared, 'cause I'm fearless in the head

Bang, bang, 'cause the needle's in the red

My, my, (my, my) I can't lie (can't lie)

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

My, my, (my, my) I can't lie (can't lie)

I need a shot again,

that sweet adrenaline

My, my (my, my), my sweet adrenaline
