Gentlemen, Start Your Engines (Built to Last Demo, 1988) The Grateful Dead

[Verse 1]
It's three A.M. in the combat zone
Gentlemen, start your engines
You can close this bar, but baby I ain't going
Gentlemen, start your engines
If you lock up the whiskey, give me gasoline
Got a seven grand redline on the black machine
The dead can do my sleeping, if you know what I mean
Gentlemen, start your engines

[Verse 2]
Got a little girl here in a pinafore
Gentlemen, start your engines
She's gonna do us all and thеn beg for more
Gentlеmen, start your engines
It's dark outside, but it's darker within
Check the back of my jacket just to see my grin
They don't write poems about the state that I'm in
Gentlemen, start your engines

[Bridge]
One of these days I'm gonna pull myself together
Soon as I finish tearing myself apart
Let me tell you, honey, there's some mighty stormy weather
Rolling 'round the caverns of my heart
