When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's A drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Always got the cops Coming after me
Custom built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart

Oh, are you ready girls?
Oh, are you ready now?
Ooh, yeah
Kick start my heart Give it a start
Ooh, yeah, baby Ooh, yeah
Kick start my heart Hope it never stops
Ooh, yeah, baby

Skydive naked From an aeroplane
Or a lady with a Body from outer space

When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by, I'd say we've kicked some ass
When I'm enraged Or hittin' the stage
Adrenaline rushing Through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass

Oh, ah, it kick start my heart
I hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this, to rock

Oh, yeah
Kick start my heart Give it a start
Oh, yeah, baby, Oh, yeah
Kick start my heart Hope it never stops
Oh, yeah, baby

Oh, yeah
Kick start my heart Give it a start
Oh, yeah, baby Oh, yeah
Kick start my heart Hope it never stops




Oh, yeah
