Lyrics

Steve McQueen

[Verse 1]

I could take my time

I could speed you up

I could pull you in

Until you can't get enough

Let's go slip-sliding in my veins

[Chorus]

'Cause this life is only chains

Nothing like the colors in my dreams

I just wanted to be Steve McQueen

With my horses of English racing green

You and me in British racing green

[Verse 2]

They can hold us down

They can break your pride

If it gets too rough

You can climb inside

Let's go slip-sliding in my veins

[Chorus]

'Cause this life is only chains

Nothing like the colors in my dreams

We just wanted to be Steve McQueen

With my horses of English racing green

You and me in British racing green

[Bridge]

And don't you know

That you and I are never going home

Since we don't wanna be alone, here we go

Sliding in my veins

[Chorus]

'Cause this life is only chains

It's nothing like the colors in my dreams

And I just wanted to be Steve McQueen

With my horses of English racing green

You and me in British racing green

[Chorus]

And this life is always the same

Nothing like the colors in our dreams

We just wanted to be Steve McQueen

With our horses of English racing green

You and me in British racing green

You and me and Steve McQueen
