Lyrics

Automatic Overdrive

[Verse 1]

My baby's high, she's in overdrive

She's a fiend out on the floor

She's a shot of pain

She's a drop dead paramour

She comes around and she turns it out

Her disease, I can't ignore

Puts it to the red

Like I've never seen before

[Chorus]

But it's all right

Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night

Never slowing down till she sees the light

[Verse 2]

She always says she's sick and tired

Of the pressure and the pain

Bearing down on her

Like a ten ton suicide

How many times I tell her

If she keeps running at this pace

She'll be long burned out

Before she can ever reach the line

[Chorus]

But it's all right

Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night

Never slowing down till she sees the light

[Bridge]

She's running free, she's running hot

That's all she needs to reach the top

She's so obscene, she's all I've got

My motor queen, don't ever stop

Oh, I wanna do it again

[Solo]

[Chorus]

But it's all right

Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night

Never slowing down till she sees the light

'Cause it's all right

Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night

Never slowing down till she sees the light

But it's all right

Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night

Never slowing down till she sees the light

But it's all right

Baby's automatic, she's in overdrive

Rollin' all night

She's ain't slowing down till she scores tonight
