[Intro]
Hear that?
(What?)
Hear that sound?
(That ain’t good.)
… not like it should…
Red light…
(Hold tight!)
Red line…
(Past fine!)
[Verse 1]
She was running like a rocket
With the pedal to the floor
Temperature was climbing
But we wanted just a little more
Needle creeping toward the danger
Warning light began to glow
Somebody said, “Keep revving”
We all said, “Let’s go!”
[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure building…
(Building!)
Heat rising…
(Rising!)
Something’s gotta give
(If we wanna live….)
[Refrain]
That gasket…
(Is blown)
… hear ‘er moan?
(Blown)
Too far into the red zone
(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
Now the future’s blown
(Why, why, why?)
[Verse 2]
A gasket keeps the pressure
Where the pressure ought to stay
Keeps the fluids separated
Keeps the fire in its place
But push beyond the limit
And the seal begins to strain
One little breach of pressure
And you’re leaking down the drain
[Chorus]
Blown!
(Blown!)
Hear that moan!
(Ohhh!)
Red zone!
(Red zone!)
Leave it alone!
Too much heat
(Too much!)
Too much speed
(Too much!)
[Refrain]
That gasket…
(Is blown)
… hear ‘er moan?
(Blown)
Too far into the red zone
(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
Now the future’s blown
(Why, why, why?)
[Bridge]
Pressure!
(That’s for sure)
Heat!
(Beat!)
Speed!
(Indeed!)
[Break]
How high?
(High!)
How far?
(Far!)
How fast?
(Fast!)
How long?
(Too long!)
What’s that smell?
(Oh, well…)
[Instrumental: Heavy Swamp-Blues Engine Groove — Distorted Guitar, Organ, Bass, Drums, Saxophone, Solo]
[Final Refrain]
That gasket…
(Is blown)
… hear ‘er moan?
(Blown)
Too far into the red zone
(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
Now the future’s blown
(Why, why, why?)
[Outro]
Turn it down…
(Way down!)
Down, down, down
Red zone…
(Ain’t goin’ home!)
Shoulda left ‘er alone
Too late?
(Way, way, way beyond expiration date.)
[Engine sputters]
(Whoa)
Oh…
(Woe, oh.)
[Silence]
