Lyric

Imagine if I had to give you my soul

In a moment when my soul was asleep

For it happens sometimes

Through no fault of our own

It's just a momentary blip in the passing of time

It's not a sign that the embers of passion are dying

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling them

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom-boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

I'm grateful in ways I could never explain

In a moment I cannot escape

But I can't phone it in (no, we can't phone it in)

No, I could never begin (he could never begin)

Oh, I could never tell you how I'm feeling, if I'm not feeling it

It's a standard that I set myself to ruin relationships

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling them

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom-boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

And if I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it I would

(It never stops)

(Perhaps Daddy has something to do with that)

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling them

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom-boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

My bones burn

And the brain that's controlling them

Knows that the soul needs petroleum

That's how it goes

Boom-boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

My bones burn (my bones burn)

And if I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it

If I knew how to control it I would

That's how it goes

Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh

Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh

Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh

Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh

Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh

Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
