Gasoline
Fueling Dreams: A Musical Journey Beyond Tickets and Dollars
Lyrics
Grab all your gear
Preparation for departure, gathering necessary equipment
We're gettin' ready for a rock n' roll road trip
Planning for an adventurous road trip centered around rock and roll
Let's get outta here
Expressing the desire to leave the current place
And get a bus just like a luxury spaceship
Aspiring to travel in style, possibly in a luxurious bus
Or we just might
Considering alternative options, like a Chevy van and trailer
Settle for a Chevy van and a worn out trailer
Noting the financial challenges of playing in clubs
Because the clubs only pay us when we sell 50 tickets or more
Financial struggles as clubs pay only after selling 50 tickets or more
We don't need the money
Stating that money is not the primary motivation
Musics our gasoline
Emphasizing that music is their driving force
Playin' shows for drinks
Performing for drinks, finding solace akin to nicotine
Numbs me like nicotine
Highlighting the numbing effect of playing music
Listen to me honey
Addressing a significant other, possibly about the impact of caffeine
I think I'm running off caffeine
Feeling energized by caffeine and its effects
Ain't it kinda funny
Reflecting on the irony of Satriani (possibly referring to musician Joe Satriani) not settling for free
Satriani never settles for free
Yeah
-Come over here
Inviting someone over, mentioning beer received as a friendly donation
We got some Heineken beer from a friendly donation
Receiving Heineken beer from a generous source
I always thought
Expressing surprise about ending up in a particular situation rather than a planned weekend vacation
That I'd end up here, but on a weekend vacation
So many bands
Observing other bands enjoying success in their hometowns
Are playin' sold out shows in their cozy hometowns
Expressing a desire to be discovered and escape small venues
If only we could get found
Yearning for recognition and success
And rise above the dingy dives of the urban underground
Aspiring to move beyond the limitations of the urban underground music scene
We don't need the money
Reiterating that financial gain is not the primary goal
Musics our gasoline
Emphasizing music as their driving force and fuel
Playin' shows for drinks
Playing shows for the enjoyment of drinks and the numbing effect
Numbs me like nicotine
Comparing the numbing effect to that of nicotine
Listen to me honey
Addressing a significant other, possibly about the impact of caffeine
I think I'm runnin' off caffeine
Feeling energized by caffeine and its effects
Ain't it kinda funny
Reflecting on the irony of Satriani (possibly referring to musician Joe Satriani) not settling for free
Satriani never settles for free
