(1^st Verse)

I'M JUMPIN' OUT OF MY TATTOOED SKIN

GLOSSED OVER STARE WITH A BOURBON GRIN

I'M SCRATCHIN' AT WOUNDS THAT JUST WON'T HEAL

BUT YOU STILL GET HOT 'CAUSE YOU KNOW THIS IS REAL

DRIVIN' DOWN THE DEATH LANE COMIN' TO YOU

BREATHIN' FIRE YEAH

WARNIN' YOU TO RUN FOR COVER

'CAUSE YOU KNOW MY LOVE'S A REAL MOTHERFUCKER

HEELS CLICKIN' ACROSS THE FLOOR

NO TEASIN' BABY, JUST LOCK THE DOOR

NOW HAND ME THE BOTTLE SO I CAN RELOAD

SHAKE FOR ME HONEY, I'M ABOUT TO EXPLODE

DRIVIN' DOWN THE DEATH LANE COMIN' TO YOU

BREATHIN' FIRE YEAH

WARNIN' YOU TO RUN FOR COVER

'CAUSE YOU KNOW MY LOVE'S A REAL MOTHERFUCKER

I'M THE MAN THAT'S GONNA LEAVE YOU SPENT

SPITTIN' KISSES ACROSS YOUR NECK

WISH I COULD SAVE YOU FROM THE BEAST IN ME

BUT I SEE THAT YOU'RE ACHIN', SO COME ON AND GET IT
