[Intro]
\nHear that?
\n(What?)
\nHear that sound?
\n(That ain’t good.)
\n… not like it should…<\/p>\n
Red light…
\n(Hold tight!)
\nRed line…
\n(Past fine!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nShe was running like a rocket
\nWith the pedal to the floor
\nTemperature was climbing
\nBut we wanted just a little more<\/p>\n
Needle creeping toward the danger
\nWarning light began to glow
\nSomebody said, \u201cKeep revving\u201d
\nWe all said, \u201cLet’s go!\u201d<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nPressure building…
\n(Building!)
\nHeat rising…
\n(Rising!)
\nSomething’s gotta give
\n(If we wanna live….)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nThat gasket…
\n(Is blown)
\n… hear ‘er moan?
\n(Blown)<\/p>\n
Too far into the red zone
\n(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
\nNow the future’s blown
\n(Why, why, why?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nA gasket keeps the pressure
\nWhere the pressure ought to stay
\nKeeps the fluids separated
\nKeeps the fire in its place<\/p>\n
But push beyond the limit
\nAnd the seal begins to strain
\nOne little breach of pressure
\nAnd you’re leaking down the drain<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nBlown!
\n(Blown!)
\nHear that moan!
\n(Ohhh!)<\/p>\n
Red zone!
\n(Red zone!)
\nLeave it alone!<\/p>\n
Too much heat
\n(Too much!)
\nToo much speed
\n(Too much!)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nThat gasket…
\n(Is blown)
\n… hear ‘er moan?
\n(Blown)<\/p>\n
Too far into the red zone
\n(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
\nNow the future’s blown
\n(Why, why, why?)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nPressure!
\n(That’s for sure)
\nHeat!
\n(Beat!)<\/p>\n
Speed!
\n(Indeed!)<\/p>\n
[Break]
\nHow high?
\n(High!)
\nHow far?
\n(Far!)
\nHow fast?
\n(Fast!)<\/p>\n
How long?
\n(Too long!)<\/p>\n
What’s that smell?
\n(Oh, well…)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental: Heavy Swamp-Blues Engine Groove \u2014 Distorted Guitar, Organ, Bass, Drums, Saxophone, Solo]<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nThat gasket…
\n(Is blown)
\n… hear ‘er moan?
\n(Blown)<\/p>\n
Too far into the red zone
\n(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
\nNow the future’s blown
\n(Why, why, why?)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nTurn it down…
\n(Way down!)
\nDown, down, down<\/p>\n
Red zone…
\n(Ain’t goin’ home!)
\nShoulda left ‘er alone<\/p>\n
Too late?
\n(Way, way, way beyond expiration date.)<\/p>\n
[Engine sputters]
\n(Whoa)
\nOh…
\n(Woe, oh.)<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
