Petroleum Songtext
von Yard Act

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 them
Knows that the soul needs petroleum
That's how it goes
Boom-boom, ba-ba-ba-boom

I'm grateful in ways I could never explain
In a moment I cannot escape
But I can′t phone it in (no, we 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 them
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

(It never stops)
(Perhaps Daddy has something to do with that)
My bones burn
And the brain that′s controlling them
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 them
Knows that the soul needs petroleum
That′s how it goes
Boom-boom, ba-ba-ba-boom


My bones burn (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-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
Hey-huh, hey-hey-hey-huh
