Lyrics

Motors Running

[Verse 1] Why you gotta cry in the morning? Baby, it's time to go Look at the fire forming The black shadow's coming out of your door This ride goes in circles Pull over to the shoulder This ride goes in circles Oh and kill the motor [Chorus] We'll get off of this ride that I'm on We'll get off of this ride that I'm on Get your motors running Get your motors running Get your motors running Come on [Verse 2] Why you gotta ash in the garden How's it gonna grow? And it had just got started Your black cloud's coming out of the storm This ride goes in circles Pull over to the shoulder This ride goes in circles Oh and kill the motor [Chorus] We'll get off of this ride that I'm on We'll get off of this ride that I'm on Get your motors running Get your motors running Get your motors running Come on
