Hold fast, motor off Come strong, let it roll Ice cold desert stone She build a quick train Seems to keep her motor clean Saw the visions and a wet machine She's always quick to fight We're breaking through tonight I could feel it when you push straight down I could feel it when they stood their ground Roll over, right Keep it through the night, right, right Keep it through the night Right in my sight, keep it through the night I'll smash right through your spotlight She ran away to Texas To keep away the excess Old ex in Vegas don't back Texas She burned her inheritance Danced across America At the all-night sex show so far from home I could feel it when you push straight down I could feel it when they stood their ground Roll over, right Keep it through the night, right, right Keep it through the night Right in my sight, keep it through the night I'll smash right through your spotlight What you give is what you take What you bleed is what you break I bleed for you I'd steal for for you I'd take, I'd take, I'd take, I'd take, I'd take, I'd take, I'd take, I'd take I could feel it when you push straight down I could feel it when they stood their ground Roll over, right Keep it through the night, right, right Keep it through the night Right in my sight, keep it through the night I'll smash right through your spotlight
