Lyrics

Verse 1:
Since that day I'd like to forget
I have been lacking sleep
Fell in love the moment we met
Jumped in, throat-deep
Felt too nice to nod at the jealous
As we would roll down the street
Until clunking
Noises
Came from somewhere deep

Pre-chorus:
Crank!

Verse 2:
Staring into the engine bay
Where a V8 once was
I can't help but to turn away
Bleeding over oil-stained clothes
A sudden burst of utter dismay
Brings in a sledge and I close
My eyes
I strike
With all my force

Chorus:
Nonsense they keep on saying - can't take it
Undo the bolts or I'm gonna break it
Do it, now or never, fix that intake
There's no cure for this type of headache

Crank!

Bridge pt. 1
Leaking radiator, rattling timing chain
Metal shavings coming out of the drain
Howling differential, constant piston slap
Would you like to fix my non-roadworthy crap?
Dealership puts in a brand new powertrain
Steering is so loose it's hard to keep the lane
Still it's looking fresh, save for uneven gap
You don't wanna buy it, know that it's a trap!

Bridge pt. 2
A careful study of a vacuum gauge
Reading while the engine is at idle
Might give you a reason to fly into a rage
Or feel a tiny bit suicidal

Time for inspection
There's a check light
Time for inspection and it stalls.!

Pre-Chorus:
Crank!
No motherfucking start, so just -
Crank!
All I hear is just...

Chorus:
Nonsense they keep on saying - can't take it
Undo the bolts or I'm gonna break it
Do it, now or never, fix that intake
There's no cure for this type of headache.

Crank!!
