[Intro – AM Radio / Engine Idle] [radio scanning through stations] [Male Announcer] "Attention, motorists..." "Authorities are searching for a woman believed to be armed, dangerous..." [static] "—and extremely persuasive." [Female Voice] Persuasive? [low laugh] Baby... I haven't even asked nicely yet. [ENGINE ROARS → GUITAR RIFF CRASHES IN] [Verse 1] Blacktop boots and a razor grin, Got bad intentions tattooed on my skin. Snake-eye stare with a gasoline kiss, One little taste and you're hooked on this. Dashboard Jesus looking mighty afraid, While I sharpen my smile on a switchblade shade. Radio preacher says I'm born unclean— Turn him up louder. I wanna hear him scream. [Pre-Chorus] Come on— Ride... Ride... Ride... There's a little bit of devil On the passenger side. [Whisper] And she's looking at you. [Chorus] HELLBOUND HONEY! Got that midnight motor running! Black-heart woman— Make the dead start coming! HEY! HEY! Shake that grave! Hellbound Honey— MISBEHAVE! HELLBOUND HONEY! Sweet little nightmare dripping money! Chrome-plated sinner with a shotgun smile— Come ride with Mama... FOR A LITTLE WHILE! [Post-Chorus – Gang Vocals] HELL! (Bound!) HELL! (Bound!) HONEY! [Female Lead] That's right. [Verse 2] Graveyard perfume, cherry-red smoke, Got a jukebox heart and a hangman's joke. High heels knocking on the motel floor, Room thirteen— Better lock that door. Motorhead angels on a dead-end run, Moonroof open to a blacked-out sun. Every little sinner wants a front-row seat— Till the bass goes BOOM And I bare my teeth. [Spoken Sample – Old Educational Film] [projector flutter] [Cheerful Male Narrator] "Young men are advised to avoid women displaying unusual behavior." [Female Voice] Unusual? [Narrator Male Voice] "Aggression..." Mmm-hmm. "Excessive confidence..." Keep going. "And inappropriate desires." [silence] [Female Voice] Oh... You're definitely riding with me. [Breakdown – Slow Grinding Riff] BITE! That lip! SWING! Those hips! BURN! That road! LOSE! Control! [industrial percussion pounding] [Gang Vocals] HELLBOUND! HELLBOUND! HELLBOUND! [Lead] HONEY—LET'S GO! [Guitar Hook / Engine Rev Interlude] [grinding guitar riff mirrors an accelerating V8] [Distorted Female Vocals] Ride it... Ride it... Ride it... Don't you dare slow down. [Bridge – Emergency Broadcast] [warning tone] [Dispatcher Male Voice] "Suspect last observed heading west on Highway 66." "Do not pursue." "Repeat..." "Do not pursue." [radio crackle] [Female Voice] Aw... But I love being chased. [TIRES SCREECH] [Final Chorus – Full Band + Gang Vocals] HELLBOUND HONEY! Got that midnight motor running! Black-heart woman— Hear the whole world humming! HEY! HEY! Shake that grave! Hellbound Honey— MISBEHAVE! HELLBOUND HONEY! Whole damn highway knows I'm coming! Chrome-fang queen with a radioactive smile— Get in, sinner... WE'RE GONNA RIDE A WHILE! [Final Breakdown] [Lead] No brakes! [Gang] NO BRAKES! No gods! NO GODS! No map! NO MAP! No— [music stops] [Female Whisper] ...way back. [MASSIVE FINAL RIFF] [Outro – Car Receding / Radio Static] [Male Announcer] "Authorities have discontinued the pursuit." [static] "Her current whereabouts remain unknown." [distant engine approaching again] [Female Whisper] Unknown? Sugar... Look behind you. [engine ROARS past → distorted laughter → radio snaps off]
