« The guitarist on this I'd met in a New York bar, late one night. We had a few drinks and I asked him to show up for the session. He played great and I've never heard from him since. Weird lyrics here. "I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside. Give me a minute to finish this thing and we'll light it." Sounds to me like Inspector Clouseau meets Axl Rose?*! »
Paroles :
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that
And I like it...
I've got a Thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing
And we'll light it
In all this heat it's a job keeping cool
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in a while I get taken like that
And I like it...
You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you
I hope that you're half as intrepid
As you make out
More often than not, I'll bet
You never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound
If you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out
When you walked in the room
If it never came back
It would be too soon
You're gonna get what's coming
You've been asking for it two days running
You're gonna get what's coming
You're gonna get what's coming to you
