All Gas and No Go

2/11/2025 NSAI rewrite – meaning still bit too obfuscated. Maybe try writing entirely in 1st person?

curves in a sweater white blonde hair
lipstick in a mirror needs a little repair

coffee and cigarettes smell like oil and gas
mechanics placed bets on the girl behind the glass

[prechorus]
her engine screams her looks deceive
making you believe yeah, in your dreams
the car will start, but it won’t go
you think you got a shot, but you don’t

[chorus]
She’s looks fast but it’s a show
she’s all gas, and no go go
she’s all gas
and no go go go

young man dropped his wrench looking at the girl
all the senior techs call him butterfingers

he tried to get lucky they watched him strike out
collected bet money and they started to count

[prechorus]
[chorus]

chorus is not differentiated enough. change verse 2 to a prechorus, give a slightly different beat. Leaving first first and last verse identical to each other, but spread lyrics over double the music to slow down the story a bit.

[chorus]
She’s a gas
gas gas gas
She’s looks fast, but it’s a show
she’s all gas, and no go go

2/6/25

curves on a sweater white blonde hair
lipstick in a mirror needs repair
the girl broke her car he dropped his wrench
flutter in his heart he was warned by his friends

[prechorus]
her engine screams her looks deceive
making you believe yeah, in your dreams
her engine starts, but won’t go
you think you have a shot, but you don’t

[chorus]
She’s all gas and no go
She’s all gas and no no go
She’s looks fast, puts on a show
but she’s all gas, and no go go

coffee and cigarettes smell like oil and gas
his friends made bets on the girl behind the glass
he tried to get lucky they watched him strike out
friends collected money and started to count

2/5/25

a pink sports car
dragged from the lot
undress the car
take it apart

coffee and cigarettes
mixed with oil and gas
they make bets
on the girl behind the glass

[chorus]
She’s all gas, and no go go
a green flag that needs a tow
all flash and no show show
she’s all gas, and no go go

curves on a sweater
white blonde hair
lipstick in a mirror
needs repair

a beat skipped his heart
dropped his wrench
that engine won’t start
challenged by his friends

[chorus]

blah blah
all flash and no show
engine’s screaming, I am believing
she’s all gas, and no go go

motor shed it’s parts laid on the work bench

heart, restart, cost, parked, marked,
50, busy,
wrench, friends, intense, pretend,
