This is the original Megadeth version of the song later released by Metallica as 'The Four Horsemen.' Mustaine's lyrics are explicitly sexual, using mechanical and automotive double entendres to describe a passionate sexual encounter, focusing on raw, fast-paced themes.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Imagine you were at my station
And you brought your motor to me
You're a burner, yeah, a real motor car
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do, y'know, lucky for you
Whoever thought you'd be better at turning a screw than me
I do it for a living
[Chorus]
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat, yeah
[Verse 2]
We were shifting gears hard when we took off
Put tonight all four on the floor
When we hit top end, you know it feels too slow
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do, y'know, lucky for you
Whoever thought you'd be better at turning a screw than me
I do it for a living
[Chorus]
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'm giving you my room service
And you know it's more than enough
Oh, one more time, you know I'm in love
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do, y'know, lucky for you
Whoever thought you'd be better at turning a screw than me
I do it for a living, fuck yeah!
[Chorus]
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearings melt from the heat, yeah
