Lyrics
Live Wire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well if you're looking for trouble
I'm the man to see
If you're looking for satisfaction
I'm satisfaction guaranteed
I'm as cool as a body on ice
Or hotter than a rolling dice
Send you to heaven
Take you to hell
I ain't fooling
Can't you tell
I'm a live wire
Going to set this town on fire
Well if you need some loving
And if you need some man
You've got the phone and the number
And I got no future plans
Oh come on honey you got nothing to lose
You got the thirst and I got the booze
Give you an inch
Take you a mile
I want to make you smile
I'm a live wire
Holy smoke and sweet desire
Like a hot rod baby
Oh stick this in your fuse box
Cooler than a body on ice
Hotter than a rolling dice
Wilder than a drunken fight
You're going to burn tonight
I'm a live wire
And I'm going to set this town on fire
