Petroleum Lyrics

Imagine if I had to give you my soul
In a moment when my soul was asleep
For it happens sometimes through no fault of our own
It’s just a momentary blip in the passing of time
It’s not a sign that the embers of passion are dying

My bones burn
And the brain that’s controlling ’em
Knows that the soul needs petroleum
That’s how it goes
Boom, boom, ba-ba-da-boom

I’m grateful in ways I could never explain
In a moment I cannot escape
But I can’t phone it in (No, he can’t phone it in)
No, I could never begin (He could never begin)
Oh, I could never tell you how I’m feeling if I’m not feeling it
It’s a standard that I set myself to ruin relationships

My bones burn
And the brain that’s controlling ’em
Knows that the soul needs petroleum
That’s how it goes
Boom, boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

And if I knew how to control it
If I knew how to control it
If I knew how to control it, I would
Oh yeah
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
(It never stops)
(Perhaps Daddy has something to do with that)
(Wah-oh!!!)

My bones burn
And the brain that’s controlling ’em
Knows that the soul needs petroleum
That’s how it goes
Boom, boom, ba-ba-ba-boom
My bones burn
And the brain that’s controlling ’em
Knows that the soul needs petroleum
That’s how it goes
Boom, boom, ba-da-da-boom

My bones burn
And if I knew how to control it
If I knew how to control it
If I knew how to control it, I would
That’s how it goes
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
Hey now, hey-hey-hey now
