Headlights stab in to the night sky Hands gripping tight to the wheel, knuckles white Approaching a figure in the headlights Where are you headed, get in and 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 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
