N.B. Not a song that Naka customarily covers, but Musashi and her band (the 40/45s) sometimes bust it out at the Crown and Anchor.


Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and Scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
'Cause if ya wanna run cool
If ya wanna run cool
If ya wanna run cool you got to run
On heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel

My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like the dirty tricks
'Cause if ya wanna run cool
If ya wanna run cool
Yes if ya wanna run cool you got to run
On heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel

My chick she loves a man who's strong
The things she'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote this song

I don't care if my liver's hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won't climb this hill
I'll write a suicide note on a hundred-dollar bill
'Cause if ya wanna run cool
If ya wanna run cool
Yes if ya wanna run cool you got to run
On heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel

Heavy heavy fuel
Heavy heavy fuel
