lyrics

Flying Metal Deathtrap

Loving’s such a carnival ride
Step right up and Climb Inside
Don’t you know I’m glad to drive
So hang tight and get strapped in
Take ourselves a little spin

Take my hand and we’ll start
The hills are steep, the curves are sharp
Flashing lights fight off the dark
No turning back its too late
Feel it as we accelerate

Let’s get away make our escape
Don’t need a map in our Flying Metal Deathtrap

Don’t look away, don’t look askance
Maybe we should dance this dance
Just another game of chance
Let me say what’s on my mind
we’ll leave the midway far behind

You’ll want more after a taste
The wind’s cool rushing in your face
Feel the engine and your heart race
Promise you won’t lost your nerve
To see beyond the next curve

Let’s get away make our escape
Don’t need a map in our Flying Metal Deathtrap

The cart rattles but rides fine
it takes the hill and the inclines
Feel the thrill running up your spine
Yeah admit it feels real good
Just like I said it would

The ride’s fun yes indeed
It takes the turns at breakneck speed
Don’t you know I got what you need
Hang tight don’t lose your grip
I see the way you lick your lips

Let’s get away make our escape
Don’t need a map in our Flying Metal Deathtrap
