Hitch a ride, hitch a ride
Eagles swirl and they're pickin' at the bones
I'll shut you down like a bank on a Sunday
The engine has no stories to tell
Because there's no-one to tell 'em to
The last drugstore has sold the very last pill
Out on the road and I am high enough, thumb's up
You're pullin' over, gonna pick me up, shut up!
The rusty wiper blades move along, in song
Having a lonely bird in your car, shut up
My piece is in your ear
Movin' fast, thinkin' clear
I'll squeeze if you don't steer
And follow the line straighter!
You are the bullet, I am the gun, I wanna
Screw on the silencer and have some fun
Grey highway, deserting me
Hitchhiking, a pair of high-beams coming my way
Hitch a ride, hitch a ride
Treading water in emotional champagne
You blow a sparkplug when you see a drop of blood
And how many joyrides will it take
The sombre spasms harboring
Those pulsing neon hangovers, hang me
It's Friday night, I'm gonna fuck or fight, that's right
This time all I need is one more ride, shut up!
I'm car-jacking on a fine spring afternoon
Don't kid a kidder, don't shit a bullshitter
I'm hotter than the crack you're cookin' up, heat up
I'm hotter than the smack you're jackin' up, shut up!
I'm a balloon and I am losin' air, beware
Squeek, ah, squeek
There's blood on me!
Grey highway, deserting me
Hitchhiking, a pair of high-beams coming my way
Hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride
Hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride, hitch a ride...

No, YOU suck.
But really, I think that this song is about a killer who hitches rides. Sort of like an urban legend encapsulated in a song.
Something tells me that this is about drugs and how Mike thinks they've affected society, him being anti-drugs and all.
This song is pretty fuckin' awesome, even if I disagree with the message he may or may not be conveying.
Guys, this whole record is a concept album about a serial killer. Any more questions?
Mike previously mentioned highway 101 way back in his FNM days. As taken from King for a Day's Caralho Voador:
They all know me by my car, They know I'm gone, but not how far. I'm heading straight down 101, I'm going to go and get me some.
Does anyone else know of any other lyrical correlations within Patton's work?
This song is about a cumpulsive car jacker :) I must note tho, that I am the one who submitted the corrections to this song, on april 20th, 2002... so Contribution by: Yubal on January 8, 2002 is not accurate (sorry). I hope that my corrections are tho.
This song is most likely not about a car jacker but rather a serial killer either picking up victims with his car or hitching a ride in the car of others. I write this because the album the song is from is a concept album about a serial killer where each song represents one of the many phases they are believed to go through.

either way he's stuck in the desert and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty :)
SHUT UP!

'Treading water in emotional champagne'................ is it not 'Threading water in an ocean of champagne'?
I totally agree with DangleDevil, that's what I always thought it was "The Legend has no stories to tell" but I don't really know.
