Thoughts in time and out of season
The hitchhiker
Stood by the side of the road
And leveled his thumb
In the calm calculus of reason
Hi. how you doin’? i just got back into town l.a.
I was out on the desert for awhile
"riders on the storm"
Yeah. in the middle of it
"riders on the storm"
Right…
"into this world we’re born"
Hey, listen, man, i really got a problem
"into this world we’re thrown"
When i was out on the desert, ya know
"like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan"
I don’t know how to tell you
"riders on the storm"
But, ah, i killed somebody
"there’s a killer on the road"
No…
"his brain is squirming like a toad"
It’s no big deal, ya know
I don’t think anybody will find out about it, but…
" take a long holiday"
Just, ah…
"let your children play"
This guy gave me a ride, and ah…
"if you give this man a ride"
Started giving me a lot of trouble
"sweet family will die"
And i just couldn’t take it, ya know
"killer on the road"
And i wasted him
Yeah
