Hot Wire My Heart Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Insulation
In my circulation
Emanating rhythm
Sick of that incision
Nazi operation
Got my station?
[Pre-Chorus]
Wire up the radio
And an emanating rhythm
Fire up the radio
Take the terror and find my limit
[Chorus]
Hot wire my heart
Hot wire my heart
Hot wire my heart
Like this!
[Verse 2]
Next thing you know
They're movin' in
Pull the zipper
It's sliding up
I don't have a reason
Honey, bring your best men
[Pre-Chorus]
Wire up the radio
And an emanating rhythm
Higher up for the radio
Take the terror and...
[Chorus]
Hot wire my heart
Hot wire my heart
Hot wire my heart
Like this!
[Verse 3]
Kicking in the night shifts
Greasing up my fingertips
If they can't find us
Anybody's title
Got my eyes on the controls
Hand over, let's go!
[Pre-Chorus]
Wire up the radio
And an emanating rhythm
Wire on the radio
Turn the treble and find my limit
[Chorus]
Hot wire my heart
Hot wire my heart
Hot wire my heart
Like this!
