Hot Wire My Heart Lyrics

[Thurston]
insulation
in my circulation
i'm a mating rhythm
sick with electricion
nazi operation
devestation

wire up a radio
and i am a mating rhythm
wire up the radio
turn the terror and find my limit

hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart

like this

[i feel now?]
they're movin' in
pull the zipper
it's sliding up
i don't have a reason
honey for your best man

wire up a radio
and i am a beating rhythm
wire up for the radio
turn the terror an'

hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart

like this

a kicking in the nightshifts
greasing up/a teasing of my fingertips
i think you'll find us
anybody's title???
got my eyes on the controls
turned on let's go

wire up the radio
and i am a mating rhythm
wire up for the radio
turn the treble and fight my limit

hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart
hot wire my heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Whenever waxing lazy by the river I sometimes catch reflections back of what wasn't really remembered ~ ah, foolish fumblings (or just a token) ~ Thurston knows no known other crimewave situated ~ but then again, I do
