Can't stop it
Burnin hole in your pocket
Can't forget the flashing
Can't forget the smashing
The sending and the bending
The ampisphere re-entry
You gotta have the time
Got a letter in your mind
Gotta heart injection
That you got yourself a line
You got it
You ride the silver rocket
Can't stop it
Burnin hole in your pocket
