Gasoline (Live From Letterman) Lyrics
Audioslave
Lyrics
Houses haunted, I just want to go for a ride
Out and on, thought I'd set this room a light
Left alone forever and for crimes unclear
With my patience gone, someone take me far from here
Yeah, burn that gasoline
Yeah, burn that gasoline
New day only another day in solitude
Houses honest, clearly more than I can bare
Drag me off before I set my world on fire
I am gone, the sun will never set tonight
Yeah, burn that gasoline
Yeah, burn that gasoline
No more forests, only a can on red
Says 'Danger' on it, I have found another way
Burn that gasoline
Yeah, burn that gasoline
Burn it all away
Burn it all away
