I picked up this hitcher, maybe an hour ago
Could be she's only a ghost, I don't know
We're heading west into a bruise-colored sky
She said, "Turn off the music, it makes me cry"
The next service station is 40 miles away
I asked her where she's bound
She said, "Look, I don't wanna talk, okay?"
It's like she's not even there at all
But she crashes about me like a waterfall
The cat's eyes are like a necklace of stars
And in the headlights of oncoming cars
She trembles in cold air from louvred stats
Gone midnight, we pulled over
She's right out of cigarettes
This place of roadkill and ghosts
Is as lonely as it gets
We came off the next exit
Like it was some kind of way out
Searching for a crossroad somewhere
See if the devil's about
Could be she's only a ghost, I don't know
We're heading west into a bruise-colored sky
She said, "Turn off the music, it makes me cry"
I asked her where she's bound
She said, "Look, I don't wanna talk, okay?"
It's like she's not even there at all
But she crashes about me like a waterfall
And in the headlights of oncoming cars
She trembles in cold air from louvred stats
She's right out of cigarettes
This place of roadkill and ghosts
Is as lonely as it gets
We came off the next exit
Like it was some kind of way out
Searching for a crossroad somewhere
See if the devil's about
