[Intro] (Fast, driving guitar riff) Yeah! [Verse 1] Six AM, the school bell's tollin' Another day, my spirit's strollin' Through the halls of concrete gray Just countin' down 'til break of day. Met you by the locker bay Said, "Let's get out, let's run away!" We were too loud, we were too fast Knew those good times were built to last. [Chorus] HIGH VOLTAGE MEMORIES! Screamin' out beneath the trees! We were brothers, forged in fire Pushin' every speaker higher! HIGH VOLTAGE MEMORIES! The only cure for this disease! That thunder in the past A friendship built to last! [Verse 2] Drivin' 'round in that old clunker Hearin' rock 'n' roll's loud plunder! Cheap gasoline and cheaper beer We had no doubt, we had no fear. The principal's face, a blurry sight We owned the day, we owned the night. A brotherhood of sweat and sound The wildest crew in this whole town. [Chorus] HIGH VOLTAGE MEMORIES! Screamin' out beneath the trees! We were brothers, forged in fire Pushin' every speaker higher! HIGH VOLTAGE MEMORIES! The only cure for this disease! That thunder in the past A friendship built to last! [Guitar Solo] (Fast, bluesy, high-gain solo over a driving rhythm section) [Bridge] The years have flown, the time is gone But the beat of that drum keeps rollin' on. We chased the lightning, caught the flame And nothin' in this world will be the same. Still hear the echo of the crowd Playin' our music, raw and loud! [Chorus] HIGH VOLTAGE MEMORIES! Screamin' out beneath the trees! We were brothers, forged in fire Pushin' every speaker higher! HIGH VOLTAGE MEMORIES! The only cure for this disease! That thunder in the past A friendship built to last! [Outro] Yeah! Built to last! Keep that engine runnin'! (Guitar riff fades out with a final, crashing chord) Hah!
