Crankenstein

I woke up this morning with a sprocket in my hand
strapped to a greasy hoist behind a taco stand
last night went on forever while I sucked back nitrous gas
lightning jolted thru my veins smashed thru every pane of glass
I smelled transmission oil - heard a screen door slam
the doctor looked like Spock, he walked outside
said "the differential connects into the spine"
I kicked him to the ground, man that nurse was stacked
we shared us an evil grin and stole his Cadillac
I think I heard them call me Crankenstein
I'm a wrecker's nightmare, a little girl's dream
cops they brought the tiki torches, they're looking out for me
and they claim I'm mad - well I'm mad! - baby shake that tail
"calling all cars - shoot to kill don't put a creep like that in jail"
oh, I heard them calling
yeah, I heard them calling
I hear them call me Crankenstein
