throttle

reasons to be ravenous,
all that we have in us:
like lightning in a bottle,
baby, you hit the throttle,
and we're gone

gone to explore some distant shore,
the rest of the world we will ignore:
only you and me, soaring free,
seeking only our noisy ecstasy

bang the drum steady,
let me know you are ready:
like lightning in a bottle,
baby, you hit that throttle,
and we're gone
