They call me the roadburner 'Cause I'm driving day and night People guess my name But no one ever gets it right Now the road becomes my mistress How I love her sweet caress She's the only one who listens When I'm making sense
I never stop
Why did you just have to smoke me Like I was your last cigarette And the sad thing is I liked it When you sucked me dry I see a hobo eating roadkill With a vulture by his side Some say we live the life we earned In former lives
I never stop
Why do you want to drag my body home? Roadburner!
You're a viper, you're a vixen You're a goddess, you're a saint Through the desert, in my half-dreams All of which are so unreal Every second on the highway Every mile, you make me sweat I'm your ashtray, I'm your lapdog And I cannot understand
Why do you want to drag my body home? Roadburner!
Christ, I've finally found the fucking light I con-fucking-fess that you were right
