Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's into my flaws gets my system spinning
I can tell, yeah, I can tell
You ain't shy, not as wild
But I can tell you know me well
So don't lie, I'll play nice
I can tell you resent hell
Of the rail of carousels
Do you mind if I write?
Cha-chas-chasing me patiently
Like you're looking for some trouble
Trouble gasoline, fantasies
Got you craving someone to spark, yeah
Don't you dare trust in me, you're kerosine
I'm just looking for some trouble, trouble
These gasoline fantasies
Got me craving another spark
You want to stay a few
My name is Mads, I i miss you dress up
Before we pissed up i wanna die, baby
I'd be your chewing toy
You'd be my leopard i wanna do it for you
I wanna die, baby don't you lie
Four o'clock, five o'clock
Pour it up quicker (tonight)
I wanna die, baby (tonight)
Drive home, gasoline, liquor (tonight)
I wanna die, babe, do it, babe
Chasing me patiently
Like you're looking for some trouble
Trouble gasoline, fantasies
Got you craving someone to spark, yeah
You want to stay a few , kerosene
I'm just looking for some trouble, trouble
These gasoline fantasies
Got me craving another spark, yeah
I'm chasing it i want it, babe
I just say I (I just say I) i want it, baby
I want it, babe i just say I (I just say I)
I want it, babe i want it, baby
I just say I (I just say I) i want it, baby
Chasing me patiently
Like you're looking for some trouble
Trouble gasoline, fantasies
Got you craving someone spark, yeah
Don't you dare trust in me, you're kerosine
I'm just looking for some trouble, trouble
These gasoline fantasies
Got me craving another spark, yeah
You want to stay a few , kerosene
I'm just looking for some trouble, trouble
These gasoline fantasies
Got me craving another spark, yeah
