Fire Engine Lyrics

Let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine
Let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine
It can drive you out of your mind
Climb the ladder of your own design in my fire engine.

Don't tell it to go slow or stop
You're got to work it right up to the top
A piercing bolt of neon red
Explodes on fire inside your head

Let me take you to the empty place on my fire engine
Let me take you to the empty place in my fire engine
Blow it in rhythms making you
Round in the corner you can feel the ring on my fire engine

Close your eyes and you will raise
Your image you no longer taste
A fiery flood engulfs your brain
And drowns your partner (?)

Let me take you to the empty place on my fire engine
Let me take you to the empty place on my fire engine
It can drive you out of your mind
Climb the ladder of your own design in my fire engine.

Have a dark, eerie quality to it.

This is probably about psychedelic substances like LSD, psilocybin, DMT, and mescaline.

I read that they were the first band to perform live while on a hallucinogen.

Seems to me this is more likely about sex than drugs.
