Songtexte Heavy Fuel - Live Version / Remastered 2023 - Dire Straits

Last time I was sober, man, I felt bad
That's the worst hangover that I ever had
Took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right

'Cause if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes, if you wanna run cool, but he got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

My life, it makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight, I like the dirty tricks

'Cause if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes, if you wanna run cool, but he got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

My chick wants a man who's strong
The other things she'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
(Yeah) that's why I wrote this song

Yeah, if my liver's hanging by a thread
And I 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 my suicide note on a hundred-dollar bill

'Cause if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes, if you wanna run cool, but he got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
