They come and they go when they want me
I sit and I wait my turn
I want to let go but I can't see
All I know is from what I've learnedHitchhiker born to the side of the road
Got your thumb out, climb in
Shut your mouth, and do what you're told
This is where the ride beginsHeads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insaneIt goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my headHere lies a rude instigator or so he says
Is he movin', movin', movin', movin'
Or does he lie there and just play deadHeads up, the mountain's comin' down
Like a ball and chain
Stand up, the best is all around
The question is would you like to calm the insaneIt goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the driver drops deadGotta get on the road or get on your knees
See the boy play, he plays for speed
Faster boy, put your foot on the floor
Salivating, he just wants moreHere come the calm with the bold insane
I can feel it like a ball and chain
When the question stands, does the shit remainIt goes on and on, just like a speed parade
It goes on and on, 'til the tail lights reached my head
