Lyrics: Live Wire by AC/DC
Well, if you're looking for trouble I'm the man to see If you're looking for satisfaction I'm satisfaction guaranteed I'm as cool as a body on ice Hotter than the rolling dice Send you to heaven Take you to hell I ain't fooling, can't you tell? I'm a live wire I'm a live wire I'm a live wire Going to set this town on fire And if you need some lovin' And if you need some man You've got the phone and the number And I got no future plans Oh, come on honey, you've got nothing to lose You got the thirst 'n' I've got the booze Give you an inch Take you a mile I want to make you fry I'm a live wire, (Live wire) I'm a live wire, (Live wire) I'm a live wire, (Live wire) Holy smoke and sweet desire Like a hot rod, baby Oh, stick this in your fuse box! Ah, cooler than a body on ice Hotter than the rolling dice Wilder than a drunken fight You're going to burn tonight I'm a live wire, (Live wire) I'm a live wire, (Live wire) I'm a live wire, (Live wire) And I'm gonna set this town on fire Live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) Well, I'm your live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) Look at me burn Ow, let me Meltin' Short my circuit Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
