Slow match
Moderat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunshine and wrong side of another day
Sky high and six thousand miles away
Don′t know how long I've been awake
Wound up in an amazing state

Can′t get enough and you know it's righteous stuff
Goes up like prices at Christmas
Motorhead, remember me, now Motorhead, alright

Brain dead, total amnesia, get some mental anesthesia
Don't move, I′ll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I′ll see you all on the ice

All good, clean fun, have another stick of gum
Man, you look better already
Motorhead, remember me, now, Motorhead, alright

Fourth day, five day marathon
We're moving like a parallelogram
Don′t move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
If I can′t be wrong I must be right

I should be tired and all I am is wired
Ain't felt this good for an hour
Motorhead, remember me, now, Motorhead, alright

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Motorhead, remember me, now, Motorhead
It′s only you now, Motorhead




Only you, Motorhead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
