Hitch a ride, hitch a ride 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 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 Grey highway, deserting me Hitchhiking, a pair of high-beams coming my way Hitch a ride, hitch a ride 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 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 bull (shitter!) 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 Grey highway, deserting me Hitchhiking, a pair of high-beams coming my way Hitch a ride, hitch a ride
