Trouble
The Crash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My dreams are waking up now
I'm heading for the top
The topless dream awaits there
Think I should pick it up
But I'm dying for some trouble
Yeah I'm dying for some trouble
Double trouble, triple double, gimme trouble
Oh, double trouble, see I'm dying for some trouble

Well my time is coming up soon
Think I should make it rock
It's never been so perfect
Still I want to fuck it up
'Cause I'm dying for some trouble
Yeah I'm dying for some trouble
Double trouble, triple double, gimme trouble




Oh, double trouble, see I'm dying for some trouble
'Cause it's hard to know what's up. What's up, what's up..
