Gasoline in My Veins

You said

“Be nice

Keep your head down

Play it tame”

But I burn twice

Every time you say my name

Scuffed-up boots

On your perfect marble floor

Red lipstick truth

On your white shirt by the door

I got gasoline in my veins

Strike a word and I go up in flames

You can build your little cage

Watch me break it

Break it

I got thunder stuck in my throat

Every “no” just turns into smoke

You can beg me to behave

I was born to

Born to misbehave (oh yeah)

You draw lines

In a bright

Obedient blue

But I cross mine

Every time I think of you

Bite my tongue

Till the copper hits my teeth

Then I laugh loud

Spitting out what’s underneath

I got gasoline in my veins

Strike a word and I go up in flames

You can build your little cage

Watch me break it

Break it

I got thunder stuck in my throat

Every “no” just turns into smoke

You can beg me to behave

I was born to

Born to misbehave

Turn the key

Hear me roar

Hear me run (hey!)

If you’re scared

Better hide from the sun

You want quiet?

Find another saint

I’m the spark

In the cracks of the paint

I got gasoline in my veins

Strike a word and I go up in flames

You can build your little cage

Watch me break it

Break it

I got thunder stuck in my throat

Every “no” just turns into smoke

You can beg me to behave

I was born to

Born to misbehave (oh yeah)
