Mark Knopfler - Heavy Fuel lyrics

Dire Straits

HEAVY FUEL

(Mark Knopfler)

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad

worst hangover that I ever had

it took six hamburgers and scotch all night

nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

'cos if you wanna run cool

if you wanna run cool

if you wanna run cool, you got to run

on heavy, heavy fuel

my life makes perfect sense

lust and food and violence

sex and money are my major kicks

get me in a fight I like dirty tricks

'cos if you wanna run cool

yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run

on heavy, heavy fuel

my chick loves a man who's strong

the things she'll do to turn me on

I love the babes, don't get me wrong

hey, that's why I wrote this song

I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread

don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead

when my ugly big car won't climb this hill

I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill

'cos if you wanna run cool

if you wanna run cool

yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run

on heavy, heavy fuel
