Dead Boys - High Tension Wire Lyrics

Dead Boys Lyrics

"High Tension Wire"

Living too fast, 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
Nothing
I'm stuck here all alone 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

Time warp, baby, that's where I lives
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

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
Said, time warp, baby, you can't remember my name
Time warp, honey, I would die for free
Feeling tonight like my brain is on fire
Don't touch me tonight I'm a high tension wire
