The Hitchiker

Headlights stab into the night sky.
 Hands gripping tight to the wheel knuckles white
 Approaching a figure in the headlights
 Where are you headed get in we'll be on our way
 ♪
 I'll engage the conversation like I care,
 To set your fragile mind at ease
 Then tune you out like the radio,
 Songs fading in and out hissing dead melodies
 Hitchhiker roadside execution
 Midnight stranger, come and take a ride with me in all my misery
 I would love some company
 This long and winding road isn't safe for anyone,
 Now focus all your fear on the barrel of my gun
 ♪
 We are now experiencing technical difficulties
 ♪
 Calm down close your eyes it was all a bad dream
 Now go back to sleep
 ♪
 Standing over your dead body smiling at you staring at you
 ♪
 Midnight stranger, come and take a ride with me in all my misery
 I would love some company
 This long and winding road isn't safe for anyone,
 Now focus all your fear on the barrel of my gun
 Midnight stranger nothing
 Can save you now, beneath the pale starlight
 I'll take you out of this world,
 Lone hitchhiker I'll paint the highway with your blood,
 In the morning light no one will recognize you
