hands around the steering wheel
caress the shiny vinyl feel
don't you miss the girl?
miss the girl
seduced reflection in the chrome
there's petrol stains outside your home
kiss the girl-kiss the girl
your loving strokes are fatal charms
revenge bites back into her arms
you didn't miss the girl-you hit the girl you hit her with a force of steel
she's wrapped around your burning wheels
