Lyrics

We slip on the vinyl
We shimmer to shine
Slide on the chrome and plastic
The hum of the powerlines
Sum of a love
Come trip the light fantastic

Crash And Burn - Live Dublin 2011 by MavEldritch

Singing:
        Do I drive?
        Or am I driven?
        Can I brake
        What I've been given?
        Take a walk
        Turn
        Talk
        Or crash and burn

Everybody get a wife, I got mine
She's kneeling on the backseat, feeling fine, she's
Married to a soldier in the army of the Rhine, but
He don't know so he don't mind, she says
        Do I drive?
        Or am I driven?
        Can I brake
        What I've been given?

        Take a walk
The Sisters of Mercy, Crash And Burn - Festiwal Legend Rocka, Poland 2016

        Turn
        Talk
        Or crash and burn

Slip on the vinyl
Shimmer to shine
Sing:
        Do I drive?
        Or am I driven?
        Can I brake
        What I've been given?
        Take a walk
        Turn
        Talk
        Or crash and burn
