'Red-Hot Rivets' - Human Thoughts

Red-Hot Rivets

Red-hot riveting you is my kinda fun
I can do it for hours a day
When I come for you after doin' my numbers
Plenty more hammers to play

Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent

I'm back from the wars, tools under your hood
And I'm digging around in her trunk
You leave me gasping unable to walk
She leaves me reloaded for funk

You want me to save all my rivets for you
And stop rolling dimes up her sleeve
I'll empty my pockets do what I do
Making love to you like you need

Your train runs on coal but I've got a mine
Riding these rails unheard
Pressurized piston of steam and a fire
From ashes that sing for your bird

Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent

We're in the back of a passenger flight
Your wings wrap my fuselage
You smile and whisper "are we a mile high?"
I light your jet stream barrage

(chorus)

You floor it to try to drain my tank
A bottomless trip every drop
Leave nothing for that strange intense
And she wants an hour on top

Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent

Up on your hood or back in your seat
A kitten plays pony time crop
Heaving, horse-drawn, I'm here for the heat
This whip screams when we have to stop

(chorus)

Spraying your windshield with fluid is fun
Then I follow in her rear view
You're stripping me to gears that run
She likes to swallow in two

Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent

A plane on the runway, a train in a tunnel
A ship glides between your docks
The images and metaphors are obvious I know
I want to feel the gates of your lock

(chorus)

Time's well spent (and I am spent)
It's hard to pay the rent

You know I have to drive her then
I'll have more rivets for you

When I have to ride her train
I'll hammer these rivets for you

You know I will rise again
With red-hot rivets for you

Even though I go insane
I'm saving up rivets for you

Then we know I'll fly your plane
With rows of rivets for you
