Chrome and Gasoline

[Intro]
[Verse]
Five AM the floorboards creak
I would hold my breath for a week
Waiting for your boots to hit the floor
Waiting for the slamming of the door
I had grease under every broken nail
Living in a house that felt like jail
You’d yell until the coffee went cold
Doing exactly what you were told
[Pre-Chorus]
I worked for that shop lead position
It was my only real ambition
But you loosened the bolts on my name
And left me holding all the blame
[Chorus]
Watch the chrome melt down
Light up this dying town
Gasoline smells like a dream
Watch the engine lose its steam
Burning every lie you ever told
Turning all your silver into gold
Yeah you’re burning up now
I’m the one who’s laughing now
[Post-Chorus]
Let it burn
Let it burn
It’s my turn
[Verse]
You told the boss I was getting slow
Watched my promotion start to go
You smiled while I wiped the oil away
I had nothing left to say that day
But I found your keys in the kitchen jar
I know exactly where you parked that car
That custom paint is peeling back
Fading into a charred and hollow black
[Pre-Chorus]
I took the wrench to the glass
Watching the minutes finally pass
You took the future I earned
Now watch how the bridge gets burned
[Chorus]
Watch the chrome melt down
Light up this dying town
Gasoline smells like a dream
Watch the engine lose its steam
Burning every lie you ever told
Turning all your silver into gold
Yeah you’re burning up now
I’m the one who’s laughing now
[Bridge]
The Farfisa moans a low chord
I’m the queen and I’m the lord
Of this heap of rusted steel
Tell me how the heat feels
No more shaking in the dark hall
Watching your kingdom start to fall
I am the spark and the gasoline
The baddest girl you’ve ever seen
[Solo]
[Breakdown]
It’s quiet in the junkyard now
I finally made my silent vow
The rubber smells like burning hair
I don’t even have a single care
[Chorus]
Watch the chrome melt down
Light up this dying town
Gasoline smells like a dream
Watch the engine lose its steam
Burning every lie you ever told
Turning all your silver into gold
Yeah you’re burning up now
I’m the one who’s laughing now
[Hook]
Burn it down
Burn it down
I’m the only one in town
Burn it down
Burn it down
Look at what I finally found
[Outro]
