[Intro]

Hitch a ride, hitch a ride

[Verse 1]

Eagles swirl and pick at the bones

I'll shut you down like a bank on a Sunday

The engine has no stories to tell

Because there's no-one to tell 'em to

The last drugstore has sold the very last pill

[Chorus 1]

Out on the road and I am high enough, thumb's up

You're pullin' over, gonna pick me up, shut up!

The rusty wiper blades move along, in song

Having a lonely birdy in your car, shut up

My piece is in your ear

Movin' fast, thinkin' clear

I'll squeeze if you don't steer

And follow the line straighter!

You are the bullet, I am the gun

I wanna screw on the silencer and have some fun

[Hook]

Grey highway, deserting me

Hitchhiking, a pair of high-beams coming my way

[Pre-verse]

Hitch a ride, hitch a ride

[Verse 2]

Treading water in an ocean of champagne

You blow a sparkplug when you see a drop of blood

And how many joyrides will it take

The sombre spasms harbouring

Those pulsing neon hangovers, hang me

[Chorus 2]

It's Friday night, I'm gonna fuck or fight, that's right

This time all I need is one more ride, shut up!

I'm car-jacking on a fine spring afternoon

Don't kid a kidder, don't shit a bullshitter

I'm hotter than the crack you're cookin' up, heat up

I'm colder than the smack you're jackin' up, shut up!

I'm a balloon and I am losin' air, beware

Squeek, ah, squeek

There's blood on me!

[Hook]

Grey highway, deserting me

Hitchhiking, a pair of high-beams coming my way

[Outro]

Hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride

Hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride...
