Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

White Knuckle Ride

Get in and buckle up

Ye got cher motor runnin'

step in and get in gear

Your ass is outta there

Fire up in the pipe

Getting the timing right

Transmission very tight

Off into the night

And now we on the town

I clutch and work a stick

Don't wanna blow a motor

250 clicks

Let the tires slip

Into a power drift

The sound of metal and meat

Sideways down the street

Growlin' like a tiger

Flying down the autobahn

Screaming down the turnpike

On a wicked motorbike

You know I gotta move

It gets me in the mood

Do what i wanna do

Not caring what I'm doing

It makes me feel alive

When I get out and drive

So fast that when I leave

In minutes I arrive

I drive a hot reactor

Nuclear isotope

It's using hydrogen

To get me where I'm going

The only trouble is

In a collision

We'll take the city down

In an atomic cloud

Flying down the 89

On my way to Mexico
