Dave Mustaine wrote the lyrics to this lewd song using car-related double entendres as euphemisms for sex. He would later record it with Megadeth, while Metallica reworked it as “The Four Horsemen”..
[Verse 1]
Imagine you were at my station
And you brought your motor to me
You're a burner, yeah a real motor car
Said you want to get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do you know, luckily for you
[Chorus]
Who ever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat
[Verse 2]
We were shifting hard when we took off
Put tonight all four on the floor
When we hit top end you know it feels too slow
Said you want to get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do you know, luckily for you
[Chorus]
Who ever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat
