WISEBLOOD – MOTORSLUG

Well I’m a motorslug with a loco lust
I’m gonna take a ride
I’m doin’ 98 on a death trip cruise down highway 99
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands up on the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands up on the wheel
Well I’m a motorslug with a loco lust
I’m doin’ fine
I’m doin’ 98 on a death trip cruise down highway 99
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands up on the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands up on the wheel

On the wheel
On the wheel

Keep your eyes on the road and your hands up on the wheel
